Thanks for asking about disabling the button counts, Bogdan.
It’s not currently possible to disable counts via a setting, but it’s a feature that may appear in the future as part of an update. Apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime!
Thanks for your answer Nick.
I would like to add a vote for disabling the counts! Mostly because I don’t yet have enough engagement to justify displaying the counts — no one likes to see a zero on there!
I would like this function as well.
– Because Twitter looks bad this way (without a counter)
– Because it is bad for people that are just starting out ( < 5 shares)
Please fix this. I love Genesis and many plugins are high quality. Would love to donate some money if this plugin is updated – I use it on my website and some of my clients’ websites.

Thanks for the votes, all. I’ve forwarded this feedback to the StudioPress development team.
I also vote for it, I share the marlenewp and JaapvLeent opinions. Otherwise I must return to use some other plug-in in my sites. Thanks.
Please….I need to remove the share counts on client’s sites really soon. Can you just let me know the coding.

@sabrina You’re welcome to try adding the following CSS to your theme’s stylesheet to hide the counts on the front end for now:
.sharrre .count {
display: none;
}
.sharrre:hover .share {
opacity: 0.7;
}
.share-small .sharrre .share,
.share-small .sharrre:hover .share {
width: 65px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.share-medium .sharrre .share,
.share-tall .sharrre .share,
.share-medium .sharrre:hover .share,
.share-tall .sharrre:hover .share {
width: 75px;
border-radius: 3px;
}
.share-outlined.share-small .share,
.share-outlined.share-medium .share {
border-right: 1px solid !important;
}
That CSS will hide counts at all times, regardless of the count.
You may need to tweak this for each client, but hopefully that helps as a starting point.
Thanks a million!!!!

Just to add: it’s worth being aware that if a future version of the plugin removes counts via a setting or modifies the styling at all, you may need to adjust or remove these styles. You’re welcome to post back here if you need further help with this, though.
Nick,
Thanks, that does make sense. I’ll go back and make a note on which websites I changed. And I’ll also switch out Shareaholic and put Simple Share back.
Curse you Pinterest for stopping your counts, curse you Twitter for pushing this over the edge.
I wonder how/if this will change Google wanting to see activity on sites? We have to remember to keep sharing…even if we can’t see the counts.
I don’t like this.
Thanks for your amazing help.
