Tested and confirmed that a reblog button does not show up on individual posts even though the My Sites > Sharing > Sharing Buttons > "Show reblog button" option is checked.

Here is how the Reblog button looks in the preview in my site settings:

^{Seen at https://wordpress.com/sharing/buttons/design5279.wordpress.com using Firefox 58.0.2 on macOS 10.13.3.}

However, I cannot see the Reblog button on a post:

Fix attempted in r170381-wpcom. Retesting some of these links to confirm.

[gravityrail]

Yeah looks like it worked - for me. Can someone else clear their caches and spot check some sites?

[adelineyaw]

I've just checked a users site at https://lindaghill.com/blog/ as I reported it here a few days ago and the 'reblog' button isn't there. They have enabled the 'reblog' option within Sharing > Sharing Buttons as well.

Reblog button missing in #966774-zen

[rachelmcr]

@gravityrail I cleared caches and I'm not seeing the reblog button yet. I see in r170381-wpcom you updated this script source:
https://s0.wp.com/_static/??/wp-content/js/postmessage.js,/wp-content/js/jed/jed.js,/wp-content/js/wpcom-proxy-request.js,/wp-content/js/likes-rest-nojquery.js?m=20180213

But when I check my network requests, the sites are still requesting the old source:
https://s0.wp.com/_static/??/wp-content/js/postmessage.js,/wp-content/js/jed/jed.js,/wp-content/js/wpcom-proxy-request.js,/wp-content/js/likes-rest-nojquery.js?m=20180212

[gravityrail]

@rachelmcr and @gemmagarner and @adelineyaw - I deployed another change which forces clearing of caches at our end. Can you please take another look at let me know if it's fixed for you?

[adelineyaw]

@gravityrail Awesome! Looks like it's fixed for lindaghill.com/blog - thank you (will let the user know)

[jerrysarcastic]

Also spot checked my users' site, and see the reblog button again on https://kahliyalogue.wordpress.com

[gemmagarner]

Reblog button is back in 966774-zen — thank you!

[rachelmcr]

I also confirmed the fix; closing this issue as resolved. Thank you for wading through this one, Dan! :)
