Thank you!

Thanks Mohammad!

Just for your reference, turning off sharing and eliminating the “ShareThis” script from the header.php file has made a significant difference for us. Using Pingdom’s Full Page Test, our homepage (which is 3.3mb total size with 112 server requests) load time performance grade went from 75% to 95/100% on a desktop, and 93/100 on mobile devices. That’s huge! Our average load time is now under 3 seconds on a desktop and approximately 5 seconds on mobile with an optimal cellular/wifi connection.

I’ve read that most people will give up on a website if it takes more than 7.5 seconds to load, so to get the average load time below 5 seconds totally rocks. Google rewards speed as well. “ShareThis is a legacy of the old web, time to move on from it.

Thanks again for your consideration.

Best,

Lionel

Hi Mohammad,

Thank you, however, I worked with my host provider and have resolved the issue.

You were right, I did not have permission to go in and edit the php files. My hosting company has turned off the Editor system wide for security reasons. I was not aware that I was not seeing the Editor function until now. I’m sorry for the confusion, but now it all makes sense to me. On the bright side, their tech support is really great.

Thanks again for your help!

Hi Mohammad,

Regarding using FTP, that’s what I thought, however, when I download the files (I have downloaded the entire site) I don’t see the “OPEN Social Scripts” in the header.php file. I’m assuming the code is generated dynamically from the php database? …I’m not exactly sure what to do. (I’m a content developer, not a php expert).

Also, is there a way to change the file permissions so I can access the header.php file directly from the dashboard? Do I need to contact my hosting company?

Thank you again for your help and understanding, I’d really like to resolve this.

Hi David,

Thank you I will keep looking.

Regarding Mohammad’s suggestion: Admin -> Appearance -> Theme Editor -> to edit the header.php file — I can’t seem to access the header file using the Theme Editor. Can you tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

I’m trying to solve an issue regarding “ShareThis”. My hosting provider took care of this issue for me a few months ago and removed the “Open Social Scripts” code from my site. Since then SwiftIdeas updated the Supreme theme and the ShareThis script is back. I’d like to remove it myself so I don’t bother my hosting service each time the theme is updated, however, I don’t seem to be able to find the source code anywhere:

<!– OPEN Social Scripts –>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js”></script&gt;
<script type=”text/javascript”>stLight.options({publisher: “ur-72c8cf80-2647-2464-a894-abc33849d467”, doNotHash: true, doNotCopy: true, hashAddressBar: false});</script>
<!– CLOSE Social Scripts –>

I’ve looked in the top level header.php file and in the theme folder, but I’m not seeing it. Also I tried to go to Admin -> Appearance -> Theme Editor -> to edit the header.php file as suggested by Mohammad (above), but I’m not seeing a way to do it here. I’m only seeing color, widget options, etc.

What am I missing?

Thank you for you kind consideration.

Thanks Guys, much appreciated! Everything is working properly again.

Have a great holiday season!

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to report that I’m having the exact same issue. After updating to WP4.4 all of our sidebars have disappeared. Looking forward to the theme update. Thank you.

[motionstream]

Thank you! Problem solved.

I have one additional question: Will I need to do this again when the Supreme Theme is updated in the future since ShareThis is integrated into the theme?

Hi Mohammad,

Thank you for your reply. I understand what to do now, however, I’m not sure how to do it.

I logged into my site via ftp and downloaded the header.php file to try and edit it myself, however, I’m unable to open it in Dreamweaver or any other editor. I don’t have a developer environment set-up as the site was launched more than 2 years ago. (Perhaps we should have maintained it).

Dreamweaver gives me an error message when I try to open the .php file regarding dynamically-related files and displays this:

<?php
/**
* Loads the WordPress environment and template.
*
* @package WordPress
*/

if ( !isset($wp_did_header) ) {

$wp_did_header = true;

require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/wp-load.php’ );

wp();

require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . ‘/template-loader.php’ );

—–

So what’s the easiest way to remove this code from the header.php file? It seems simple if I can access it myself. Is there another application that I should use, I’m on a Mac.

Thank you for your help and kind consideration.

Hi,

I just upgraded to 3.8 and overall it is running well; however, there seems to be a few bugs that I’d like to bring to your attention.

1) The logo on our admin (Log-in page) is not displaying properly after upgrading to 3.8. It seems to be clipping the art into a square and not displaying the full width of the image.

2) There seems to be some minor display issues with images. I had a couple images not display correctly in regard to there size (being stretched along the Y-axis). Also some funkyness with the interface, sometimes the elements for building out posts are not displaying consistently.

Overall, not a bad upgrade, but it’s not all right.

[motionstream]

Thank You!

Worked like a charm!

Cheers!

Hi Fawk,

There’s an Image plug-in that available on WordPress.org that enables you include a title, caption, and a link option. Works really well and it’s compatible with Supreme.
