 * Even though if have the option “Remove shortcodes from the excerpt.” Enabled,
   this shortcode still shows up:
 * [social_share/]
 * Any ideas?

 * It appears the developer of this plugin has closed both his websites and is not
   accessible anymore… Anyone knows of any other plugins similar to this one?

 * I don’t believe [social_share/] is a valid shortcode.
 * Shouldn’t it be [social_share] instead?
