[Plugin: WPtouch] Disable the Share Bar

Hi,

In WPtouch there is no option in the admin panel to disable the sharing options. Removing them in the core files may work, but your changes will be overwritten each time you update. WPtouch Pro allows you to easily disable them via its admin panel, fyi.

Something which might point you in the right direction, Lisa, until you do upgrade to WPtouch Pro:

Good share @lewisr.

You bet!

I wasn’t able to find the code mentioned in the article in the current version of wp-touch (and the instructions were really clear). Not critical.

Thanks, Lisa. I did indeed list the wrong file to edit (D’oh!). You want to tweak themes/core/core-functions.php. In 1.9.5, function wptouch_twitter_link() appears on line 67, and
function wptouch_facebook_link() appears on line 70.

I’ve fixed the error in my article, and have added a brief note of thanks to you for pointing it out.

Sorry about that!

Just manually upgraded from 1.9.42 to 1.9.5 (deactivate, delete, install via upload), activated, checked that all was working, backed up core-functions.php, edited, and re-loaded page on my Palm Pre Plus. All working as expected.

Note that using the plugin editor in the WP admin, I can’t seem to get down to the theme files (last file on my list is readme.txt), but that must be another issue. I rarely use that editor, anyway, preferring a real text editor for such tasks.

Good luck, and again, Lisa, apologies for the error in my original article.

Cheers
