Sharing widgets in Sidebar Only on Home Page - This is so frustrating

    I've been trying to put these on my blog and nothing is working. Got the ShareThis widget, insert it, they show up at the end of my posts but not in the sidebar. Contacted Sharethis, they are working on a solution and will get back to me...

    Googled everything, still nothing working. Edited the HTML.... shows on home page only but not in the sidebar. I've tried every kind of sharing widget in the sidebar and nothing. Always showing up in posts. So frustrating.

    I'm thinking of just doing custom icons/code but maybe something else wrong with the template originally.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Blog is in sig.

    If you place them in the sidebar, they will only share the website URL, not the post that is on the page.
    But you problem seems to be in the settings. All of the sharing plug ins have settings that let you allow or disallow the buttons on posts and pages.
    Some even have the option to disallow in the post editor.

    If all else fails, you could just use some good old fashioned HTML and place them in the sidebar and link them to your Social Accounts.
