    Hi,
    I just installed the plugin und played with the functions. It looks really nice and worked like expected.
    But then I realized, that Ghostery reports a Tracker “Twitter Button”, which was not there before activating the plugin.
    Because of the strong private data protection laws in Europe and Germany this should be avoided.
    Is it possible to use the plugin without automaticly tracking to twitter?
    Thanks
    Bernhard

    Hey Bernhard,

    Glad you are finding the plugin itself working well!

    Hmm I’m wondering if the javascript file we use to open Twitter “intents” in a new window is causing this issue. You can dequeue the script by adding the following to your functions.php file:

    function sb_dequeue() {
    	wp_dequeue_script( 'ctf_twitter_intents' );
    }
    add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'sb_dequeue', 99 );

    Make sure that you use <?php and ?> tags if adding this outside of an existing block of php code.

    Could you let me know if that fixes the issue? We would consider adding this as an option in a future update since I’m sure others would be interested in this.

    Hey Bernhard,

    That’s great! Thanks for letting me know that this worked. We will likely add an option to do this in the future so if you see it come up, you can remove this code and select the option instead if you prefer.

    Also, thank you very much for the review! That really helps us out. Let me know if you ever need anything else.
