There you can assign the social media buttons and turn them off/on.Hi
Thanks for the reply, but under the template > Features > Social buttons you can only set all to display or none.
I would like to only show the FB and Twitter...

Hi, I figured it out. I'll be ticketing this to the developers today.
Two things, in the template directory -> features -> social.php, I found that only the Facebook button had a conditional to display it only if it's not empty. So I added the necessary conditionals to the other three. File is attached, unzip and replace your existing social.php with this file.
This attachment is hidden for guests. Please log in or register to see it.
Of course, just adding that doesn't fix it. Next, in the template-options.xml file, line 172 is where the fields for the social buttons are. The four lines with the links all have a link specified in the default parameter. for example the Twitter link:Remove the default parameter and the link from the four lines, like:<field name="twitter" type="text" default="https://twitter.com/#!/rockettheme" label="TWITTER_LINK" position="left" class="text-long" />
Make sure to do this for all 4 of the social fields.<field name="twitter" type="text" label="TWITTER_LINK" position="left" class="text-long" />
The default always populates the field, causing it to not be empty, causing the conditionals in the social.php to return as true, showing the buttons no matter what. Removing the default fixes this issue.
As I said, I'll get this to the devs, I'm sure they'll update this with the next release. - The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

I now have Facebook, Buzz and RSS (even though Buzz and RSS don't have a link in the Template Manager & it doesn't repopulate it).

LINE NUMBER ON/OFF | EXPAND/CONTRACT | SELECT ALL
<field name="twitter" type="text" default=" twitter.com/#!/rockettheme " label="TWITTER_LINK" position="left" class="text-long" />
Remove the default parameter and the link from the four lines, like:

I also cleared my cache in my browsers (I tried several on several computers) and in the administrator side of my side, still not working. By the way, my Gantry GZipper is off.
Does this mean it's the php step not the xml step that's not working? I just want Facebook and that's it!

Does this mean it's the php step not the xml step that's not working?Never mind. Got it. I guess I'd uploaded the wrong php file. Instead of uploading Cliff Pfeifer's (see link above), I uploaded a backup of the old php file (which doesn't not have the conditionals). When I added the conditionals in the php, it worked.
Also, I simply added target="_blank" to the link in the php file and it worked! It opened in a new target!
Well, now it's problem solved.
By the way, thank you Cliff!! ... Also, apparently this problem has been solved in the latest Ionosphere version (see Ionosphere template changelog ).

- Glad it worked. This has been fixed in our bug tracker so the latest versions of the template should not require this fix.

- Hi, that is a module. It's placed in the content-bottom-a position, so use the position filter in the module manager to narrow down the list, it's the only module in that position and it's called FP Content Bottom A.
