 * Hi guys, love the plugin.
 * How/where can i remove the href: ([http://www.hupso.com/share/](http://www.hupso.com/share/))
   that appears when you hover the “Share” image on the front end?
    thanks. QM

 * There is no such option. Perhaps this will be added in the future.

 * Hi Kasal, sorry, but last i checked any plugin on the WordPress directory should
   be fully open sourced and comply with the GPL License with no reference to your
   website on the front end. This doesn’t seems to be the case here. So where do
   i remove the href that applies on the “Share” image from ponting and anchoring
   to your site?
 * thanks,
    QM

 * Sure it is. You can edit and the plugin file directly yourself and modify the
   code. You can distribute it and do as you like. That’s GPL’ed alright.
 * Not tested by me but edit `share-buttons-hupso.php` and just delete all `href
   ="http://www.hupso.com/share/"` references (there are 3). That should do it I
   think.
 * If you think the plugin has violated the [Plugin Guidelines](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/about/guidelines/)
   here then you can report it to plugins [ at ] wordpress.org. That’s really the
   best way to report these things.

 * That’s all well said, but that’s exactly it, removing those links didn’t fix 
   the issue, i have no idea where they are nested and why wouldn’t it be possible
   to remove it.
 * The approach is always to first try and solve the issue with the developer and
   i truly hope that kasal can give us the simple solution for this matter as it
   should be fairly straightforward to remove a pointed URL from the front end image
   of the “Share” image.

   I thik you misunderstood me. As I said, there is no such option in Hupso plugin
   settings. If you are a developer, it is quite easy to change it: – open create_button.
   js – locate line with `code += '<a class` (around line 370, depends on your plugin
   version) – remove entire href part – save file – go to Hupso plugin settings 
   and click on Save Settings
 * Since you are editing the plugin code yourself, I provide no guarantee that it
   will work correctly.
 * Let me just say that plugin is GPL and you are free to change your copy anyway
   you like. If you do not know how to change it, that does not make it non GPL.
 * Note: You must not update plugin after you change the code, because your changes
   will get overwritten with newer version. So I suggest you keep this version or
   do the same changes every time you update it.

 * Hi, thanks for that Kasal, that’s all i was asking for. I have followed your 
   instructions but the href seems not to be removed. is that the only location 
   should remove it from?

 * Yes. But you should also remove “href” part, not just url inside “”, otherwise
   a browser might still show some URL of current website.
    I tested this in Firefox
   and it worked. If you still have problems, please [send me an email](http://www.hupso.com/share/feedback/)
   with URL to your blog and I will take a look.

 * Thank you kasal for that awesome plugin!
 * It works and I could change the URL the share button is leading to.
 * **Is it also possible to remove the share button too?**
 * I just want to start with the tweet button and don’t need the Share image in 
   front of it.
 * Thanks a lot!
