Q: Photo sharing options missing
Several photo sharing options are missing from the drop-down menu in Photos. I assume it's an El Capitan related problem. Is anyone else having this problem?
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

Just be careful, when using the Terminal. Typos in the Terminal can be dangerous.
Open the link and copy and paste the Terminal command exactly as it is into the Terminal window, don't try to type it yourself.
It is a harmless command, but spelling errors in the Terminal can change the Terminal command into something dangerous.
This command does the following: It will reset the launch services database, so the installed applications and the services, document types, etc. supported by the applications can be found, i.e. for the Share menu.
Paths are searched for applications to register with the Launch Service database.
Valid domains are "system", "local", "network" and "user". Domains can also be specified using only the first letter. The parameters in the command are the following:
-kill Reset the Launch Services database before doing anything else
-seed If database isn't seeded, scan default locations for applications and libraries to register
