I’ve received a few asks about Unfollow / Like / Reblog buttons not appearing when you visit someone’s blog, asking me if it’s an XKit or Tumblr error. I could not reproduce it myself, until an XKit user, thatspectersmile (thank you, by the way!) pointed that an extension called Ghostery they had installed was causing it.
So I’ve compiled a list of extensions that’s known to cause problems with Tumblr and/or XKit. I’ll be posting them on the xkit.info website soon, it’s not complete, but these are all I can think of now.
Please check the list and disable these extension before contacting Tumblr support or sending me an ask, since neither I or them can help you if you have them installed.
