    Thanks for doing this!
    There seems to be no way to disable this on a per-page basis. It would be nice to have them show up on pages generally, but be able to hide them on, e.g., the contact page.
    Also, when the plugin is installed, the words “Share this” appear on post, but no share buttons. I would prefer not to see the heading if no buttons are selected to appear. Also, though, a couple buttons should be visible by default — probably FB and twitter.

  • Hi, @tylertork,

    Sorry for my late answer, I’m not getting notifications from the forum and seldom visit it.

    I just released a new version, in which nothing is shown for ordinary users if there are no social networks enabled for sharing. If the user is administrator (has the capability manage_options), a short message is shown, pointing to the plugin setting.

    As for enabling or disabling the buttons per-page, that’s something that I’m not keen working on. After the introduction of the block editor the classic metaboxes are less and less practical, document options are not very visible, etc. And having a block with the sharing buttons, which allows adding the buttons wherever the author or editor wishes is a working solution for the problem. I’m more interested in making the Gutenberg block more flexible, if I can find the time to do that.

    Having said that, if you or anyone else wants to contribute a solution for disabling the widget per-post/page, the GitHub repository is public and pull requests are welcome.
