Remove share buttons on feeds

    Hi,

    thanks a lot for these very simple buttons, absolutely perfect. I would like to ask for an option to remove the buttons from the feed (in case the total article is shown), and share my intermediate solution.

    It would be great to have an option do not show icons on feeds, and then simply add to ssba_buttons.php in function show_share_buttons a if (is_feed() && $arrSettings['ssba_now_show_feed']) { return } or similar.

    For now I have taken the following approach: I remove the filter on feeds by adding the following code to my theme’s functions.php:

    `
    if (is_feed()) {
    remove_filter(‘the_content’, ‘show_share_buttons’, (int) $arrSettings[‘ssba_content_priority’]);
    }
    `

    That works quite nicely.

    Thanks a lot and all the best

    Norbert

    Ok, I thought the code I gave worked, but it didn’t.

    I have added the if (is_feed()) { return $content ; } into the ssba_buttons.php file and now the buttons don’t show up.

    But this is only temporary, so I would like to ask to add this feature permanently.

    Thanks a lot

    I want to archieve the same. Is it relevant where in the ssba_buttons.php I’m adding the mentioned code? Do I have to edit the functions.php of my theme as well?

    If you want to deactivate the share buttons in your feed you have to add what Norbert mentioned if (is_feed()) { return $content ; } in line 35 in your ssba_buttons.php (directly after if ((!is_home() && !is_front_page() ...

    Hi both,

    A better way to achieve this would be via a theme’s functions.php file or a custom core plugin you may maintain.

    if (is_feed()) {
    remove_filter('the_content', 'show_share_buttons');
    remove_filter('the_excerpt', 'show_share_buttons');
}

    Thanks,

    Hi David,

    thanks, I don’t know why I thought I have to add something like the integer value at the end.

    Thanks for the code, it seems it works nicely. I will report back in case.

    All the best

    In fact … it didn’t work somehow … but it is strange … it depends on how I download the feed.

    I am pushing my English blogs to Debian Planet (planet.debian.org), and it depends. When I use https://www.preining.info/blog/language/en/feed/ then the sharer buttons are included, and when I use https://www.preining.info/blog/feed/?lang=en they are not included … Surprised.

    Do you have an explanation for that?

    Thanks

    Hi Norbert,

    This must be something to do with whatever is generating the feed for you, you may need to contact them regarding this. It may be that it’s not allowing for any plugins that add content using hooks to carry out the tasks they’re set out to do, such as add the share buttons.

    I hope you manage to find a solution.

    Thanks,

    David
