You can remove the original Jetpack sharing buttons thanks to the code mentioned here:

If you don’t feel comfortable editing PHP files, you can also install this small plugin:

I realize I didn’t thank you Jeremy. … Thanks. WCF
Hi Jeremy – thanks for this!
Where do I find the short code? Is it the code that I see in the editor when I look at “jetpack-sharing-butttons-shortcode/jp-sd-shortcode.php”
thanks!!
Hi Jeremy: sorry, I should add that I’ve installed Jetpack, Jetpack Sharing butttons shortcode, and Remove Original Jetpack sharing buttons
All are active. I had set up the original Jetpack sharing buttons but they appeared on the bottom of my post. I wanted to put them on the top and on the Post teaser on my main WP page.
thanks
I am having the same issue. I was previously running the jetpack sharing module. I downloaded the Jetpack sharing plugin. Tried to manually edit my theme function php by adding
function jptweak_remove_share() {
remove_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display',19 );
remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display',19 );
}
add_action( 'loop_end', 'jptweak_remove_share' );
and also tried disabling the original buttons using the plugin offered above.
When I check the “show sharing buttons” on a page, the buttons show up where I have put the shortcode in the page and at the bottom of the page. If I remove the check from “show sharing buttons” they do not show up anywhere. I am using a child theme so I don’t know if the above code is being overridden somewhere. I trying this on test pages in my site which are not available to view, so I can’t offer a link. Any suggestions.
Thanks
Chris
Jeremy,
Thank you for the response. Honestly editing the function.php scares me!. I tried entering this code under the funcitons.php file but got a fatal error I think because the plugin already put that code in the file.
Now, do I have to complete step 2 on this page? http://jetpack.me/2013/06/10/moving-sharing-icons/ If so, I don’t know where to put the code for this step
Here is a link to the site. Website
I have it setup to show sharing buttons but I also have it in a widget on the sidebar. The buttons show up both in the sidebar widget and bottom of page. If I turn off show sharing buttons on that individual page, they don’t show up at the bottom or in the widget with the [jpshare] shortcode.
If I change the sharing options under settings, the same thing happens.
Thank you!
I would suggest the following:
- Start by removing all code you added to your theme in the past.
- Download the following plugin: http://i.wpne.ws/Seuj
- Go to Plugins > Add New > Upload, and install and activate this small plugin.
- Place the sharing shortcode where you want the buttons to appear in your posts:
[jpshare]
If you want the buttons to appear outside of your posts, you can do the following:
- Forget step 4 above.
- Deactivate the Jetpack Sharing butttons shortcode plugin.
- Add the following code in your theme, where the buttons should appear:
<?php
if ( function_exists( 'sharing_display' ) ) {
sharing_display( '', true );
}
if ( class_exists( 'Jetpack_Likes' ) ) {
$custom_likes = new Jetpack_Likes;
echo $custom_likes->post_likes( '' );
}
?>
Save your changes, and you’ll be good to go!
