I’ve just bought a premium plugin for social media sharing, Named ‘Easy social share buttons. I’ve already deactivated the Newspaper theme’s social sharing icons through theme pannel. Still , plugin is not working it is displaying the icons at the bottom ( just after the content) but not above the content.
Same plugin working fine here on your theme, without editing or mannual work

Please help !
You don’t need a plugin for this! Newspaper has a built in functionality for this. If you want to show social media sharing buttons go to: Theme panel -> Post settings and then click on Sharing. Here you can choose where to show social media buttons: at the top of the article, bottom or both.
If you want the plugin instead of the default sharing of the theme, then you will have to ask the plugin author how to implement the plugin at the top of the article as we did not create the plugin and have no idea of it’s functionality.
Thank you!
Here is the solution provided by the Tagdiv ( THROUGH EMAIL) :
– The theme default share button appear above the top ad – http://screencast.com/t/9xxTChaKP1F If you want to use a share plugin you may need to use the plugin’s shortcode in your post template above the content/replace the default share buttons code – http://screencast.com/t/1oComsQCxC
But the problem is :
when we apply shortcodes, Website displays double set of Social share buttons.
Hello,
Well if the social share buttons appear double, you must identify the one that is extra and figure out where it comes from and remove it. If it;s the theme social icons, simply remove the call from the post template files here: http://screencast.com/t/gGfwdDkeU
If it’s the plugin icons, then you will have to ask the plugin author because we have no clued of the plugin implementation or functionality.
Thanks.
