Twitter was still broken for me, in /assets/front/js/jQuerySharrre.js the count variable for Twitter is set to false... it's not counting by design.. I'm not sure why Hueman isn't enabling count by default from within the options.. however several attempts to enable count failed so I was forced to manually update line 290 to:
count: true,

Also, http://opensharecount.com fails to load on my WP site with forced https:// due to mixed content... it really should be protocol independent by updating line 306 to return "//opensharecount.com/count.json?url={url}";

OK thanks for the feedback @goodbytes-gb .
I'm still on it then

Yep, twitter still is broken for me and just shows 0 even though when I pull the actual "opensharecount.com" page it says the counter is above 0.

@Nikeo The twitter count is still broken, but it actually looks like its not even calling out to opensharecount.com. I ran it through burp proxy and this is what it shows:

The arrow shows that it is correctly calling out to LinkedIn, but you can see there is no request to opensharecount.com for the twitter button.

Hi @Nikeo

Please refer to the following support thread on WordPress.org
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/social-media-counters/

Seems like twitter share count is not working.
I cannot confirm this, as I do not have the means to do a test, because I don't have an online Hueman Theme test site.

Thank you
