How to remove share buttons

  • Good day:

    RE: Version 2.8.4 of Facebook Tab Manager.

    I just set up a facebook tab to pull a custom post type to display using the following code:

    [fbtab query="post_type=news"]

    It works wonderfully except that it pulls in the share buttons (which we do want on our main site, but not in face book).

    I have unchecked the box to have code executed in the footer; and I’ve gone into the advanced button (for both the tab AND the canvas) to check to disable the share buttons.

    Yet, two problems:

    1. When I re-edit the page the boxes in the advanced area for sharing are now re-checked.
    2. It still shows the share buttons.

    https://www.facebook.com/dynamicnet.net?sk=app_256014541083573 is what we see on FaceBook.

    https://www.dynamicnet.net/fbtab/fb_news/ is the canvas URL.

    How can I have it pull just the news custom post type, but not include the social sharing buttons?

    Thank you!

    Social media plugins are typically output as a filter on the_content. Remember that the checkboxes are for filter functions you want to EXCLUDE. So for example, on my site I check the box for sociable_display_hook

    As a shortcut, you can also append minfilters=1 to the query string of the url you record in facebook’s developer tool. So something like https://www.carrcommunications.com/fbtab/clips/?minfilters=1 should work. That turns off all but the most essential filters, like the one WP uses to format paragraphs.

    Make sure you have the latest version of the plugin because this is one feature that I’ve had to make several tweaks to.

    Hi David:

    Thank you so much for your time and help.

    Adding ?minfilters=1 did the trick.

    Thank you again!
