I would hide the social buttons (facebook, twitter, g+1, read, print, email) that are on the left of any article page and add them at the top and bottom of any article page.
I read here https://www.gavick.com/forums/news2-joomla3/where-to-disable-the-social-plugins-38928.html that to hide them I have to go to k2 items.
But I cannot find anything to disable.
I clicked to component-->k2-->items-->Parameters--> and then social tab, but all the fields are empty. Can you tell me exactly where do I have to go to hide such buttons?
My website is http://www.casino-online.bz

everybody can know such passwords cause they are set only to hide the website to google, so any forum user can access to my website.
Override is enabled.

I noticed that this webmaster:
http://2014.myjcr.com/news/general-news ... ident-1212
has been able to accomplish my request (social buttons are at the bottom of the article). So it is possible. Can you tell me how to proceed?

Yes my website is live and I can access to it, as you can see from the image attached. Do not know why you cannot access, probably it is a traffic/internet temp problem. Are you able to visit it now?
My goal is havinf social buttons (share, like,...) at the bottom of the k2 item articles.

Please do not bump your question (reply to your own thread) - it will always make you wait longer as it puts your thread down in our queue.
On the provided url there is a 3rd party plugin used - from what I see it's com_jfbconnect. It will create facebook sharing under the article.
To remove sidebar sharing you need on k2 articles you need to set some settings per article or per category to make change to all items in particular category.
To do so please either edit particular article or category, and on the right side please open "Item View Options" and make sure those options are set to "Hide":
Next open "Social Sharing" section and set to "Hide" all 3 available options.

Thank you Cyberek for your answer.
I have been able to hide the vertical social buttons. You can check here the result:
www.casino-online.bz/scommesse/quarta
But sincerely I do not want to pay $60 for JFBConnect only to let appear the social buttons under the k2 item article.
By searching the forum again I found that other customers of yours had the same wish and here:
https://www.gavick.com/forums/news2-joomla3/moving-socials-from-sidebar-to-bottom-of-article-39555.html
you said:
"Placing them under the article is an easy way"
Can you explain in details the method to place them under the k2 article?

You need to edit php file that generates k2 item and move code that generates those elements from sidebar to bottom of the article. Its mostly copy/paste, but you need to know what you are doing (basic php/html knowledge is required).

Here https://www.gavick.com/forums/startup/moving-socials-from-k2-to-where-it-should-ve-been-35444.html Oscar E explains in details what you said, but I have two questions.
A) in point 2) Oscar said to select the area starting from <?php if($params->get('itemTwitterButton',1) || .... but where this area ends? I understood where it starts, but do not know where it ends.
B) "Move to the bottom". Can you tell me exactly the insert point?

Sadly it looks you have no idea what you are doing so it might lead to all kind of problems. I'll provide you some tips but I strongly recommend to hire a frontend developer for this kind of customisation.
Please edit the file in any editor that is developer friendly (notepad++, sublime etc) - it will show indention which will show exactly where this block ends.
You need to start moving the code from opening <ul> at line 342:
and finish at closing </ul> at line 433:
and move it just before closing:
at bottom of the file.

To avoid misunderstoondings, I moved the following piece of script:
<aside class="itemAsideInfo">
<ul>
<?php if($params->get('itemTwitterButton',1) || $params->get('itemFacebookButton',1) || $params->get('itemGooglePlusOneButton',1)): ?>
........................
...................................
....................................
<?php endif; ?>
</ul>
</aside>
Before the </article> tag at the bottom.
Is that correct?
Because nothing changed. Buttons have the same positions they get before with css update suggested by you in this thread:
https://www.gavick.com/forums/news2-joo ... 39555.html
Have a look at the result here:
http://www.casino-online.bz/casino-aams ... ay-experts
Buttons are under tag and under items in this category in a strange format, not under the text of the article.
<aside class="itemAsideInfo">
<ul>
<?php if($params->get('itemTwitterButton',1) || $params->get('itemFacebookButton',1) || $params->get('itemGooglePlusOneButton',1)): ?>

Perhaps you are having some cache issues, I see the social items under the article not aside.
Also, I would leave:
and closing:
in their original place and only move starting from <ul> and ending at </ul>

I kept <aside> where you said and moved only <ul> ....</ul>. Situation is a little better, but buttons are at the end of the page as last thing and not after the k2 item article text.
This is the structure:
Article text
TAGS
Related items
Last articles
Social buttons.
If you go here www.casino-online.bz/casino-aams/k2/k2-item
do you see this like me?
Social buttons unable to see because they are more deep.

After the last row of article text and before TAGS. It should be the first thing after the k2 article text. Like in this image I created:
Of course I need them horizontal like in the image atatched and not in a column.
Is that possible?

The redesign thing is up to you - it is a lot of work to do and we do not support that kind of changes.

There is no redesign need.
There is no need to hire a developer.
There is no need to edit php files.
There is no need to pay 60 USD for JFBConnect.
All you have to do is download and install this free plugin:
http://bowthemes.com/joomla-extensions/ ... lugin.html
and then set where you want the social buttons: up, right, left, bottom,....
Glad to help other webmasters.

I haven't written anywhere that you cant't use 3rd party extensions. You were asking about the solution in provided link and I have provided it to you
I'm glad you could find a solution that fits your taste.
Also - thanks for sharing the solution that helped you.
