Hi

This has gotta be a setting that I've got wrong!
If I share something on my stream to FB then i can, but the content doesn't show...I just get a message saying
"You may need to login to see this content. It could also be restricted by privacy settings or may have been made unavailable for viewing due to other reasons!

As I say...gotta be a setting!!!

Please can you point me in the right direction?

Cheers
Paul

PS...a really useful feature in the forum would be for (at the very least) the system remember your site's details!! I know some users have multiple sites, but I'm sure some system could be devised!!
Not a complaint...just a suggestion
Hello Paul,

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried to share this stream item: http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-04-30_1043.png and when I click the item on my Facebook: http://screen.stackideas.com/2015-04-30_1042.png , it redirect me correctly to the stream item in your site without any error. May I know which stream item you are trying to share?

Hi Nik

That's funny....to be honest I was clicking on a word link (which seems to have disappeared) rather than the share icons. Anyway....that's all good now!!

Sorry to trouble you!

Actually, Nik,

This could be linked to my FB settings too...although it isn't on every blog entry for some reason!

THe blog entry Title has a Like This ..Like Loading message under the blog content.

The two blog entries above it haven't!?

Could this be something to do with the feed and where the blog is coming from?

Hello Paul,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a public holiday for most of us here. Hm, these messages seems to be generated by "Share Daddy". Did you customize or have any plugins that is called "Share Daddy"?

Hello Paul,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a long weekend off for us here in Malaysia. Hm, was these entries imported from Wordpress? If that's the case, you need to actually edit the blog post and remove them since these "data" are actually stored within the content of a Wordpress post.
