Looks like that plugin is no longer supported – see the note here:

Can you deactivate or delete it? If not via the Dashboard, you should be able to delete it using FTP or Cpanel access to your plugins folder.
Thank you. I have deactivated and deleted and still the buttons remain 🙁
Hmm, maybe they’re from someplace else – try deactivating all plugins and see if they disappear. If not, see if changing themes (temporarily) gets rid of them.
Tried that. Nothing. Still there 🙁 this is so frustrating!
Trying a new theme removes them but loses everything else!
In that case, sounds like they are part of the theme?

Possibly. But that doesn’t help me. I do not know how to remove it. I didn’t update the Vantage theme though?
Just looked more closely at your site – looks like you are using a different “vantage” theme – not the one from the repository on this site.
Since it looks like this is a theme issue, and we don’t have access to commercial themes, I’d suggest you check with the developers of your theme.
