    How do I disable the sharethis plugin? It is seriously slowing down page load time. Also this particular plugin is responsible for b.scorecardresearch.com which is regarded as malware from what I’ve researched online.

    Hi,

    in this post I describe how to remove Social Sharing Buttons:

    https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/removing-the-share-buttons-from-listing-sidebar/

    The function is identical, but instead of removing ‘geodir_social_sharing_buttons’, from the array, you remove ‘geodir_share_this_button’.

    If you want to keep sharethis and tweak its settings, search for 

    function geodir_share_this_button(

    copy the function in your theme functions.php, rename it and modify it and use the new name in the array (instead of removing it).

    Let me know if it’s not clear.

    Thanks

    Thanks, I’ve edited out all references to share_this in geodirectory_hooks_actions.php.
    Seems to have done the trick.

    While I was at it I also removed geodir_social_sharing_buttons.

    All this dramatically improves page load times.

    Thanks, I’m aware of that. I’ll just remove them again.

    Hack removes social buttons completely – I’d like to only remove some items inappropriate to our users.
    Less is more.

    I’ve prepped for ‘digg’, ‘reddit’, etc, but seems those values get pulled from a db.

    Please help

    Hi,

    there are currently no options to tell sharethis which icons to hide and which to show.

    You can only remove the widget or keep it as is.

    Thanks

    That’s rather unfortunate.

    Where does it pull this data from?
    Maybe I can go digging into the resource & add/remove offending/superflous values

    feature-request?
