Removal of google social icon on posts

Hi there,

Delete this line

<li><a href="<?php echo esc_url( $gplus ); ?>" class="social-icon"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a></li>

from the part-social-sharing.php file to remove the google+ sharing option.

Try installing the Synchi plugin to enhance the default editor and then navigate to your olsen light folder to find the file.

Hi,

Thanks. I have deleted that line, but the icon is still appearing?

Hi there,
Please purge your cache if you are using any WordPress plugins, and clear you browser’s cache also

Let me know if this works

Hi,
I have cleared my cache since the beginning and unfortunately nothing has changed.

Hi there, can you please provide a link with the google+ share button so I can have a closer look

Hi there,
are you using any third party plugin(like Jetpack) to display social sharing icons?

I cannot see your site, it’s under maintenance mode.

Hi,

No, I haven’t done anything with the social icons, they are as the theme came.

Hi, can you please remove the maintenance mode to have a closer look?

Hi,

Its off maintenance mode for you to have a look.

How can i put it back on maintenance mode after? Thanks!

Hi there,
You will need to add some custom CSS to achieve this.
Install and activate this plugin then go to “Add Custom CSS” on your dashboard and paste this

#content .socials li:nth-child(3){
 display:none;
}

in the box.

You can enable the Maintenance mode from your maintenance plugin settings, just like you turned it off.

Let me know if this helps

Thank you, this worked perfectly!

Glad I could help!
