I currently run Simple Share Buttons plugin on my website.  I have it turned off on my community forum page by using a SSB shortcode [ssba_hide].  That part is working great.

However today, when I went in to edit a post, I saw those buttons appear at the bottom of each post in that topic.  

I am wondering why they would be showing up and if there is another page that I can add that shortcode to to ensure that this is NOT an option on these posts. 

Please help, because I cannot have these showing up on the forum!!

No – there is only a single forum page that is used. If you have put this in the page the forum uses and it is being ignored I think you probably need to get advice from the authors of that plugin…

If I was going to try to use some CSS to remove this, is there a class or id used for all edit posts windows that I can reference it to?

You should be able to find out what class can be used to hide them with the browsers inspector, but a couple of things –

Firstly, it will never remove it, you can hide things with CSS using display: none; but they will always be there just not displayed, and someone poking around using the inspector could find something hidden this way quite easily.

Secondly, as Andy has said you really should speak to the plugin author regarding any questions you have, especially if it’s not behaving as it should.
