    As my site is targeted towards english language readers, I don’t feel much use for the Russian social share icons like: vkontakte.ru and odnoklassniki.ru.

    But I would like to keep the facebook, google+ and twitter icons.
    Please help.

    Hello!
    If you want to keep only facebook, google + and twitter share buttons, you need to install and activate Basic child theme and add the following function to functions.php file of child theme:

    function basic_social_buttons( $old_soc_html ) {

    $soc_html = “<div class=’social_share clearfix’>”;

    $link = get_permalink();

    $title = get_the_title();

    $soc_html .= ‘




    ‘;

    ‘;

    $soc_html .= “</div>”;

    return $soc_html;
    }
    add_filter( ‘basic_social_share’, ‘basic_social_buttons’ );

    Or add this code to plugin FunctionsPHP.

    Sorry, I’m confused. The first solution did not work. I add the provided code in the custom codes settings but nothing changed.

    For the second solution, I don’t know how to install and activate Basic Child theme?

    Or add this code to plugin FunctionsPHP.

    I can’t find this plugin.
    Help.

    Hello!
    Try add this snippet to plugin FunctionsPHP:

    
function social_buttons( $old_soc_html ) {

    $soc_html  = "<div class='social_share clearfix'>";
    $link  = get_permalink();
    $title = get_the_title();

    $soc_html .= '

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' . $link . '&t=' . urlencode( $title ) . '&src=sp" title="' . __( 'Share in', 'basic' ) . ' Facebook"></a>

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=' . $link . '"  title="' . __( 'Share in', 'basic' ) . ' Google+"></a>

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/share?url=' . $link . '&text=' . urlencode( $title ) . '" title="' . __( 'Share in', 'basic' ) . ' Twitter"></a>

';
    $soc_html .= "</div>";

    return $soc_html;
}

add_filter( 'basic_social_share', 'social_buttons' );

    Oh, sorry. It is problem with code formatting. Try copy and paste again 

    
function social_buttons( $old_soc_html ) {

    $soc_html  = "<div class='social_share clearfix'>";

    $link  = get_permalink();
    $title = get_the_title();

    $soc_html .= '

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' . $link . '&t=' . urlencode( $title ) . '&src=sp" title="' . __( 'Share in', 'basic' ) . ' Facebook"></a>

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=' . $link . '"  title="' . __( 'Share in', 'basic' ) . ' Google+"></a>

<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/share?url=' . $link . '&text=' . urlencode( $title ) . '" title="' . __( 'Share in', 'basic' ) . ' Twitter"></a>

    Sorry again! Code for social share icons worked out but CSS classes disappeared. Try to copy and insert function again!

    
function social_buttons( $old_soc_html ) {

    $soc_html  = "<div class='social_share clearfix'>";

    $link  = get_permalink();
    $title = get_the_title();

    $soc_html .= '

    We were glad to help!

    Such a beautiful theme and layout but the coding and to make simple edits like remove Russian social media is horrendous!
    Man, why not just make it an easier way to edit social media icons and make simple edits?
    Not very user friendly at all unless your a programmer.
