If you post the URL of the web page where you are facing this problem, I would be able to check what’s wrong.
Can’t see the social share icons at your website. If you enable these, I would be able to check what’s wrong.
They are on the page I shared above.
It seems, you are also using shortcode along with the default social share bar. Either disable the Placement options in the Standard Interface section OR remove the shortcode.
We aren’t using a shortcode, only the placement options in the standard interface. (Posts, Excerpts and Posts are selected.) If I uncheck Excerpts and Posts, they all disappear completely.
Then you can add following CSS in the Custom CSS option in the Miscellaneous section at the plugin configuration page in the admin area to get rid of the unwanted icons.
div.ast-excerpt-container div.heateor_sss_sharing_container{display:none}
Thanks, yes I know I can hide it with CSS. I was wondering why it’s appearing twice. And also not aligned.
Plugin uses the_content filter to show social share bar with the content of your web pages. Position and occurrence of the bar depends on how your theme is using this filter. The button you have enabled is rendered inside an iframe. That’s why it has alignment issues. You can replace it with the round or square share icon (not an iframe) that you can search in the Select sharing services option in the Standard Interface section at the plugin configuration page.
Yes, I know I can select the other icons and they work fine – not duplicates either. But I want to know why I can’t use the rectangular icons properly. So while there are workarounds, it seems there is a clear bug here that needs to be fixed.
We don’t have an immediate solution. We will take care of it in the upcoming updates.
