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

Follow

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 from the My Sites dropdown menu at the top of the page.
  3. On the Apps page, under the 'Social Sharing' section, click on the Configure button next to Floated Share Buttons.
