Hi. I know Twitter discontinued its social counting, but is there a way to show that independently with the button like Facebook does? If not, can the tweet button be removed and retain facebook (kindly show the location of the buttons in the theme files)?

Hi,

The share buttons are defined in this file of the theme
– https://www.screencast.com/t/mQQPLozXpz
There are two instances of the buttons, for top and bottom. Remove the Twitter button from both, if that is needed.
Or you could hide just the Twitter button with a code like this in custom CSS, for both top and bottom

.td-classic-sharing .td-classic-twitter {
display: none;
}

Maybe there are ways of displaying a share count through a plugin, you could search for that as well.

Thanks

Thanks Simion. I actually want to remove the tweet button and also stop its javascript code from loading in the theme. Will removing that line of code do that?

Hi,

Remove it from the mentioned file, it will not be loaded anymore. There is a top sharing and bottom sharing, remove the Twitter link from both these locations
