 * Hi, does anyone know to which theme or plugin the shortcode “[social_sharing]”(
   without the quotes) belongs? Since some time it shows in the footer (third column)
   of this page. It used to show social share buttons and I try to narrow down the
   problem: If it is a theme problem, or if the plugin connected to the shortcode
   got deleted, etc. Any ideas are appreciated. Cheers David

 * It looks like you’re using the shortcode in a Text widget in a dynamic footer
   sidebar. As near as I can tell, it might be packaged with your theme, Borderland.
   Or, at least your theme has specific styling for it (often a good indication 
   it’s added by your theme).
