removing social media icons from the social sidebar

Hi.
I have a client that does not use their twitter account. They would like that to be removed from the social sidebar icons.
How is that accomplished?
Right now, all I see is an 'all or nothing' setting.
Thanks for help.

Yes, the social sidebar, which you can turn on under Settings->Website, has a show/hide setting, and no way to specify specific icons, like you can with the social media widget (something slightly different under Website->Social Media Icons).

However, you can remove just the twitter button from the social sidebar with some css.

Code: Select all

.at-svc-twitter{
	display: none;
}
If you paste that css into the Stylesheet under Settings->Administrator and turn on the social sidebar, you should no longer have a twitter button on that sidebar!

Hi.
I copy and pasted the css code you gave me for hiding the tweat icon from the social sidebar, and the icon is still showing up.
I pasted the CSS code at the end of the stylesheet. Does it make a difference where on the style sheet that css code show up?
Any other ideas for disappearing the twitter account on the social sidebar?
Thanks, John!

This sounds like a caching issue. The answer I provided here on another post applies to this situation as well!
