[Resolved] Hide social sharing buttons from views

I added social sharing buttons to my posts using the SocialSnap plugin. These buttons also appear in views I use to include a recent posts block in pages, which I don't want; the buttons should only appear on single posts. The problem occurs with other social sharing plugins as well.

See e.g. hidden link

How can I hide these buttons in views and have them only appear on single posts?

I suggest to refer to the 3rd party plugin about where the social share buttons are hooked to.
Most likely they have added the the_content filter which we use to:
- display post bod as a shortcode
- also when having a Content Template in a View loop, this filter is added

You can try to (if the plugin really hooks into the_content()) to unhook it by passing suppress_filters="true" to the Content template in the Views loop.
But this will only work if the plugin uses the WordPress native the_content filter.

Ok, I'll try that.
Please explain how to add suppress_filters="true" to the Content template?

The output section of your View presumably uses a linked content template to output the desired fields using the wpv-post-body shortcode.

So, locate that in the Loop Editor, inside the wpv-loop tags, and add the suppress_filter attribute, like this:|

[wpv-post-body view_template="loop-item-in-my-view" suppress_filters="true"]

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
