What I wanted to do was have a home page that did not show the any sharing, but just simple excerpts of a couple of the most recent posts To accomplish this, I added this to the top of my home.php template.
<?php function no_sharing() {
}
add_filter('sharing_show', 'no_sharing');
?>
I’m not sure why I had to make an empty function, but that’s the only way I got it to work.
