Why it shows a REQUIRED warning in the plugin section of theme panel even if I am not using social counter and newsletter box. Can not we turn it off?

Hello !

You can turn them off but it will block access to some demos. If you don’t need to use those demos then it should be no problem.

Thank you !

I am currently using the Default PRO demo. It is required for it?

Hello !

I have tested on our side and everything seems to be working fine without the plugins you mention. So you should be good to go.

Thank you !

But are you sure this will not break anything now or in theme update? We don’t want to waste time fixing on our live site.
For example: This social counter plugin is only for those follower numbers etc right? We have small social icons in header. so deactivating will not cause any issue with it right?

Hello !

Yes, the social counter is only for the widget, If you remove the widget the Social counter will not affect anything.

Thank you !

Good. But just for confirmation: We are using icons in header & removing social counter plugin should not break it in upcoming theme updates, right?

Hello !

The social counter plugin is strictly for the counter. It will not affect the sharing options from your theme.

Thank you!

Ok. Thanks. Also if we remove that plugin, it will remove its unused code from theme too? And will not add it again in next theme update?

Hello !

You will have to delete the Social Counter element first using tagDiv Composer. In order to not see the shortcode on your page when the plugin will be disabled.

Thank you !

Yes.
Also, I read your above answer again: The social counter plugin is strictly for the counter. It will not affect the sharing options from your theme.

What I am asking is we have added Follow Icons (Not Sharing buttons) in the header. Site: https://globaltechgadgets.com/
So these FOLLOW social icons will not break after removing the plugin/in theme updates. Right?

Hello !

As you can see here: https://www.screencast.com/t/6BdSmilIO1F This is how your website will look if you don’t remove the social counter element and remove the plugin.

Thank you !
