Open up your style manager and choose "Edit Templates", now open up your postbit_legacy template and search for:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="$promote_sectionid AND $promote_sectionid != -1">
      <a href="{vb:raw promote_url}" class="promotecms">{vb:rawphrase promote_to_article}</a>
                                                       <span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span>
</vb:if>

Delete those lines and you're done.

That should not be showing. How is it exactly that you disabled it?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...so I'm not crazy lol. I went and looked it up on google and could not find an answer. I could have sworn that it automatically stopped showing when you actually disabled it.

It could be though the option is still enabled for admins but others do not see that link, maybe that is what is happening.

No, it should not even be available to admins. If the OP disabled it correctly, the only way those links would show up is if their is a missing conditional in the templates, or there is a mod over riding the condition.

Ah ok that is what I thought. Well I'm glad that I'm not losing my mind lol.

I would check the following.

Have you tried on a unmodified default style?
Have you tried with all mods disabled?
What vB version and PHP version are you running?

To temporarily disable all mods, edit includes/config.php file and add this line right under <?php add the following.

PHP Code:


		
			
 define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

So it looks like this:

PHP Code:


		
			
 <?php
define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

You need to disable the CMS product, not disable its hooks/plugins.

Zachary is correct, you should disable it that way. :)
