Can not remove sharing buttons from enabled sharing services, etc.

Hi @fantasy_5 !

By move, do you mean you aren’t able to drag them around into a different order, on the Settings -> Sharing page on your dashboard? If so, do you see any Javascript errors in your browser when you are using that page on your dashboard? Each browser has a slightly different way to view the console for errors. On this page we describe how to check for Javascript errors on the page in Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, and Opera:

As for the overlapping in the sharing buttons, it is possible that your theme’s style settings are causing the trouble. Could you temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme, like Twenty Sixteen, and check if the buttons are aligned correctly then? If so, you’ll need to contact your theme’s developer or support team for assistance. If not, let us know here and we’ll keep troubleshooting.

Thanks!

Hi, Lisa!

No, I am not able to drag the buttons into a different order or remove them under the sharing settings in my dashboard. I even tried deactivating then reactivating jetpack, but no change. I will contact the theme developer about the overlapping issue, but please see here https://celebrityscope.net/blog

I’m not really sure about whether or not the js errors exist and how to correct them if so, but the site and other plugins seem to be working fine and I hope I can get to the bottom of this because jetpack is great. I only wish to remove the pin it nd pocket buttons and was wondering if an instagram button can be added. Whatever you can do to help would be awesome sauce. Thanks for your speedy reply.

What if you try through the WordPress.com interface @fantasy_5 ? With Jetpack connected, make sure you have the Manage module enabled on the Jetpack -> Settings page on your dashboard.

Then, go to https://WordPress.com and login.

Click “My Sites” on the top left.

Choose your https://celebrityscope.net site.

Then click ‘Sharing’ on the left side, and then ‘Sharing Buttons’ near the top middle.

Let me know if you are able to rearrange, or add or remove your sharing icons there.

You won’t be able to add an Instagram sharing button. Instagram doesn’t provide the ability for posting from an external site.

Hi, Lisa!

On wordpress.com I am able to reorder the sharing buttons on my wordpress.com site. https://fantasy5.wordpress.com which redirects to celebrity scope.

If you log into WordPress.com using the WordPress.com account that you’ve used for your Jetpack connection on https://celebrityscope.net , you’ll be able to manage the sharing buttons for https://celebrityscope.net.

Changing the order of the sharing buttons on https://fantasy5.wordpress.com/ won’t impact your self-hosted site. Just click the “My Sites” link on the top of WordPress.com and switch to https://celebrityscope.net instead of https://fantasy5.wordpress.com.

Thanks so much Lisa! That did the trick. ??
