  I’m using the Boardwalk theme and like the design, except for the “Follow” button at the bottom of the site. It won’t go away once someone enters their email, and it covers the social media icons. Is there a way to move the “Follow” button or social media links, or is this just a glitch?

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

  I don’t see a follow button on the bottom of your site. Did you remove it after posting this?

  No, it still shows up on mine.

  Ok, now it’s gone. Weird!

  When I log in to the back end, it goes away. Comes back when I log out. This is getting frustrating.

  Ah-then you are talking about the “Show follow button to logged out users.”

  You can turn that off under Follower Settings here: https://davidonair.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php

  Click “Save Changes” when done.

  You may also want to mention in the Themes forum about the problem of the Logged Out Follow Widget placement vis-a-vis the social media icons on Boardwalk. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/forum/themes#postform

  Thank you, justjennifer, that did the trick! I’ll definitely point out the snafu in placement of the Follow Widget.
