Google+ social icon will not disable

Hi there!

For some reason the google+ social icon will not turn off! I disabled it and it still appears at the end of all of my articles. See here: http://bit.ly/vZ77Xk

How do I remove this once & for all?

Thank you!!!

If you are not using any of the socialapi you can use below css code in override.css. Make sure CSS Override is enabled or use in template features > Advanced > Custom Css Code

Code: Select all

#gkSocialAPI { display: none; }


See you around...

Hi there,

I'd like to completely remove this icon rather than simply hiding the HTML.

It seems to be an oversight in the template that Google + is not included as an option to in the template interface.

Could you tell me how to disable it in the PHP please?

I need a different solution to handle social networks. It is nice that Gavick includes some options, but the only network my client cares about is Linkedin - so I need to find another plugin.

Many thanks

You can find social codes in articles are in following file

Code: Select all

\templates\gk_finance_business\html\com_content\article\default.php


Lines: 204 to 212.

Which is below :

Code: Select all
