 * Hi All –
 * Not sure why, but I am getting two magic boxes on my page even if I only added
   one.
    Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

 * Hi [@gabstero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gabstero/),
 * It’s hard to tell without knowing how your site is set up. Can you try changing
   the action box on the page and see if both action boxes change too?

 * Thanks Ryann
 * Yes, if I edit something, both change.
 * Thanks.

 * MAB works by attaching the boxes at the end of calls to “the_content()” function
   in wordpress. normally, there is only one of these calls on a page. This becomes
   a problem when there are multiple calls to “the_content()” function which I think
   is what is happening.
 * The footer on your site, is the content editable? how do you edit the content
   for the footer?
 * One way of checking my theory is to install this [https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/)
   and enable the share buttons on that page. see if you get double buttons

 * Thanks a lot Ryann!
 * I installed the Simple Share buttons, and indeed it shows up twice.
    I discovered
   that there’s a setting in the template I am using that lets me override the footer
   settings. For some reason having it on, the footer the content repeats itself.
   Do you have a suggestion which file I should look into to possibly discover the
   issue? I have basic php knowledge.
 * Thanks a lot!

 * First file to look would be the footer.php file 😉
 * after that, it could be anywhere. Best place to ask would be the theme author
