 * I’m using Jetpack social buttons at the end of posts which I want, but these 
   feature on and dominate the excerpt posts – through this plugin – on my front
   page.
    Is there a way to disable these, through this plugin or otherwise? I have
   tried adding code to functions.php but this seems to have no effect. Look and

 * Try adding this to your theme’s `functions.php` file:
 * `remove_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display', 19 );`

 * Hi, I have a very similar need… I just installed Recent Posts with Excerpts and
   love how it pulls the most recent post excerpt into my home page sidebar, but
   also pulls all the Simple Share icons that display on the the post page into 
   the excerpt too. I tried adding the line that you advised warringtonscott to 
   add into the functions.php file, but that had no effect. can you please suggest
   a way to keep these share icons out of the excerpt? thanks! susan
