    So, I have updated today the Mantra theme.

    Out of a sudden the social media buttons I have (facebook and twitter) started appearing in the top right corner of the header. I have untucked the box and save the changes. Although, the box ticks by itself after I save the changes.

    Please correct it or tell me how to fix it. It is annoying to have tons of social media buttons

    thank you

    I have the same problem after I updated to version 2.3.3. You can not disable the social buttons on the top. Thank you for a resolution.

    I usually show the social links in the footer but upon update I’m seeing a huge facebook icon where my banner should be. I’ve found a solution that works for me. I temporarily removed the social buttons area from the header using custom css:

    Under Appearance-Edit CSS add the following:
    #sheader { visibility: hidden; }

    This hides the entire social area in the header and allows my banner to look normal.

    I’m also having the same problem with the 2.3.3 update
    The social media icons were switched on top and bottom and it won’t save the changes.

    I’m also finding Page content is hidden even though present. A blank Home page is not great…

    Thanks for the tip, Arch. Will try as a workaround.

    #sfooter { visibility: hidden; }
    works for the footer.

    The pages being blank is the most worrisome problem ๐Ÿ™

    I’m having the same problem with the social media buttons appearing in my header since updating to 2.3.3. The #sheader { visibility: hidden; } fix did work, so thanks for that! I haven’t had any problems with page content displaying correctly.

    Yep, I’m having that problem too. Thanks for the tip about adding to the CSS! Worked for me.

    I’m having the same issue, i backet up my 2.3.2 settings, so i have downgraded to that, until a solution turnes up.
    I’m not really impressed with the responce from you support guys, how about a short ” we heard you, and we are working on it” statement? , that would be nice ๐Ÿ™‚

    I fixed the bug.
    Simply modified in the editor files: defaults.php.
    The following lines from:

    “mantra_socialsdisplay0” => “1”,
    “mantra_socialsdisplay1” => “”,
    “mantra_socialsdisplay2” => “”,
    “mantra_socialsdisplay3” => “1”,

    to:

    “mantra_socialsdisplay0” => “”,
    “mantra_socialsdisplay1” => “”,
    “mantra_socialsdisplay2” => “”,
    “mantra_socialsdisplay3” => “”,

    and everything will work perfectly!

    I hope I have done something to please everyone.

    Under the Pages topic, Zed said this is a bug they’re working on.

    The blank Pages problem was a corrupt theme file on WordPress and he offered instructions to reinstall.

    Keep in mind the problem hit the weekend and Premium support gets first dibs.

    Having the same issues with the social icons….settings are not working correctly.

    For those who have this problem, at the moment the board to make changes to this file: defaults.php. as I have described above.
    In the hope that a new update will solve this simple mistake.

    Do you know when this bug will be fixed? I updated a client’s site today and can’t get the social media icons out of the header. Also, the home page tab is blank. Here’s the site link – when you look at the tab, you’ll see what I mean. http://www.anewyouhairremoval.com

    Thank you.

    where in the code to I add the #sheader { visibility: hidden; }? Everywhere I am adding it doesn’t work.

    Why choose the way more complicated?
    This bug is simply a careless mistake of the programmer. It is not known when it will be corrected.
    I have already posted a solution fully functional and simple to implement.

    Actually, the better fix (that doesn’t require changes to source files, which can be problematic when the next version is out) is the CSS changes mentioned above.

    This one will remove the upper-right header display of the social icons, but will still let you specify other locations:

    #sheader { visibility: hidden; }

    …Rick…

    It’s been annoying me for ages, glad the #sheader option worked, hate going in and changing code on things, never know what else you could be doing to your site!

    There is a much easier way to solve this issue. Just make sure the field to the right of the Social Media selection is completely blank. If even a # is in that field the icons will display, if it’s empty they don’t display
