Hello Developer,

I am wondering how to remove or disable the social media buttons on the top of the theme? I may not need to use them for my website.

Thank you for developing this theme and for your time in answering my question,
Chris

you can hide these icons from theme settings:

1) Navigate to:
Administration » Appearance » Settings (touch)

2) Uncheck option "Show twitter, facebook, rss icons in header"

3) Save

Done!!!

Is there a quick way to turn off just one of them, say twitter?

@causalloop,
For this you will have to edit few codes.

Let me know, what exactly you want to remove.

hi ravi, i would like to disable the rss link, because when you click it you get access to my whole webpage, the content. maybe this is because i'm the admin,
but i don't want my website to be displayed in this summed up manner anyway.
i would like to keep the graphic though, because i think it looks okay the 3 icons on top on the right.
with facebook and twitter it's possible to remove or just change the links, with rss it's not possible to disable it.
correction: i just deleted your username link for facebook, so the line was empty, but it now displays my facebook page, but i didnt enter is.
i want it to direct to a page i will make specifically for the site i'm making.
how come it displays my facebook page?
best regards,
blacktigerclaw

To disable link for rss icon, please follow following steps:

  1. Opne templates/page.tpl.php in a text editor
  2. Find following code
    <a href="<?php print $front_page . ($language->prefix ? '/' : ''); ?>rss.xml"><img src="<?php global $base_url; echo $base_url.'/'.$directory; ?>/images/rss.png" alt="RSS"/></a>
    
  3. Change this code to:
    <a href="#"><img src="<?php global $base_url; echo $base_url.'/'.$directory; ?>/images/rss.png" alt="RSS"/></a>
    
  4. Save
