This is the support forum thread for the mysteriously appearing social media icons after an update to the Basic theme.
ME: I have installed Basic on two sites. With the recent update on those sites, the sidebars are being activated before the Save is activated. And, it adds a set of social media buttons to the sidebars. This is only happening on sites with the Basic theme.
THEME AUTHOR: Could You more cleared write about this? What You do step by step and what You see?
ME: Thank you for your reply! After every widget in a sidebar added in a child theme, there is this code.
<div class=’social_share clearfix’><p class=’socshare-title’></p>
