One of biggest mistakes which I committed is that once I installed AddThis plugin and now it appears at the bottom of each page. I removed all the traces of plugin, changed the theme but all in vain. It appears at the bottom above footer in all the pages where I use default template. Please help.
try grepping your entire wordpress folder for ‘addthis’. From your root:
grep -irn "addthis" *. It’s bound to be in there somewhere.Check in
wp-content, because you want to search through your themes and plugins.wp-includesis part of WordPress core so I doubt it would contain any references to AddThis.Another reason this could happen is if you’re using W3 Total Cache or WP Super Cache – in which case, clear your cache after removing the offending plugin.
Solved! At last! I had the same problem. It turns out there’s a tick box on the Facebook Like widget settings with the comment ‘Enable Other Social Buttons’. Toggle to ‘no’ and the floating nuisance disappears! You can check out this page for more.
