Floated Share Buttons: How to enable or disable from specific pages using Targeting Rules

You may not always want your Floated Share Buttons to appear on your website's landing page or a contact page where there's no real shareable content. Adding a display rule will allow you to remove the buttons from those pages or posts without removing them from your entire site.

To get started, follow these steps:

  1. Login to your Shareaholic.com account.
  2. Select a Site Profile that you want to edit.
  3. On the Apps page, under the 'Social Sharing' section, click on the Configure button next to Floated Share Buttons.
