not sure if that’s interesting to anyone here, but I found out what the problem caused and a quick fix. In the file ‘social-articles-load.php’ the following lines cause the problem:
top nav
$name = sprintf( __("Articles", "social-articles").'<span class="sa-global-counter">%s</span>', '');
sub nav
'name' => sprintf( __("Published", "social-articles").'<span>%s</span>', $publishCount),
...
'name' => sprintf( __("Under Review", "social-articles").'<span>%s</span>', $pendingCount),
...
'name' => sprintf( __("Draft", "social-articles").'<span>%s</span>', $draftCount),
The quick fix I’m using is to delete
.'<span class=”sa-global-counter”>%s</span>’, ” in the top nav line and
.'<span>%s</span>’ in each sub nav line.
Still, one issue remains, that the counters are not visible. Maybe someone has an idea what could be the reason, as in the legacy theme they are visible. Thanks and I hope this little fix helps you guys.
Thank you @vapvarun, I have done that already, I was just wondering if anyone here had seen something similar and would be able to point me towards a solution.
