Showing Share buttons on single posts only

Hello!

Because I prefer my homepage to look clean, I have removed my Share buttons, leaving only the “Like” button at the bottom of the posts. I don’t even like there to be a single “Share” button, with all icons hidden behind it. A little OCD, I know.

However, what I really want to do is to keep them hidden only on the homepage while displaying a line of Share buttons when single posts are viewed.

Could that be accomplished using CSS magic?

Thanks!

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

If you want sharing buttons only on the single post pages, in your dashboard go to Settings > Sharing and uncheck all but “Posts” and that should do it for you.

Unfortunately, when I do that, what happens is that the “Like” Button also disappears from the homepage…and I prefer for that to stay…

The following CSS should hide the sharing buttons on the homepage but not on the individual posts page:

`.blog .robots-nocontent.sd-block.sd-social.sd-social-icon-text.sd-sharing {
display: none;
}

Could you try and let me know if this CSS works as expected?

Oops, missed formatting. Use this instead.
```
.blog .robots-nocontent.sd-block.sd-social.sd-social-icon-text.sd-sharing {
display: none;
}
```
