Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue on a WordPress.com Simple site using the Rebalance theme, with the “Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results” setting enabled. Trace where sharing and Like buttons are rendered for the front (Posts page); done means both buttons appear there after saving the setting.
