How to Remove Twitter and Facebook Functions?

[kotebo]

First of all, awesome awesome theme. On to my request for help…

I’m trying to remove the Twitter and Facebook functions on my site completely without affecting functionality of other processes. In my attempt to stop the JS from loading I tried removing the following code from the header.php but as a result I get the spinning AJAX wheel when I navigate to my portfolios. I’m sure its because the single portfolio template file uses FB, TW and other like functions. I also tried renaming the widgets related as mentioned in the functions file path “/widget-flickr.php” and “/widget-twitter.php” but doing so results in PHP errors. How can I obtain the results I need? Reason behind doing this is that the site loads 80% faster without FB and TW due to the GFC in China 🙂

Hi there,

If you remove the scripts, you’ll also need to edit /js/functions.js.php file and remove instances of:

twttr.widgets.load();
try {
    FB.XFBML.parse(); 
} catch(ex){}

Don’t worry about the widgets.
