   I'm using this plugin on a website with three different custom post types, but I only wanted the AddThis-buttons to be displayed on Posts.

   Unfortunately this plugin doesn't have support for hiding the buttons on Custom Post Types. I added two lines of code to hide it on my Custom Post Types, but i think it would be better to have an option on the settings-screen.

   I added this on line 1183 in the file addthis_social_widget.php:

   elseif ( 'my_custom_post_type' == get_post_type() )
       	$display = false;

   Hi Ajuliano,

   The best way to remove it from custom post types would be to use the addthis_post_exclude filter. You could do something along the lines of:

   add_filter('addthis_post_exclude', 'my_addthis_post_exclude_filter');
   function my_addthis_post_exclude_filter($display)
   {
   if ( 'my_custom_post_type' == get_post_type() )
       $display = false;
   
   return $display;
   }

   This worked for me too, thanks!

   I'd note that in my case, the post type I had to use in this scenario was blank (''), as it wasn't reported by the plugin that created the post type. I say this in case anyone runs into something like this.

   Thank you Aaron!

   Worked great for me as well.

   Although I use switch, because I've got multiple post-types to hide it from.

   add_filter('addthis_post_exclude', 'my_addthis_post_exclude_filter');
   function my_addthis_post_exclude_filter( $display ) {
   	switch ( get_post_type() ) {
   		case 'my_post_type_1':
   			$display = false;
   			break;
   		case 'my_post_type_2':
   			$display = false;
   			break;
   		case 'my_post_type_3':
   			$display = false;
   			break;
   		case 'my_post_type_4':
   			$display = false;
   			break;
   	}
   
   	return $display;
   }

   Do you think there's a better way of doing it?

   ajuliano, here's a much simpler way:

   add_filter('addthis_post_exclude', 'my_addthis_post_exclude_filter');
   function my_addthis_post_exclude_filter($display)
   {
   if ( in_array(get_post_type(), array('my_post_type_1', 'my_post_type_2','my_post_type_3','my_post_type_4')) )
       $display = false;
   
   return $display;
   }

   I found a way to insert a custom style in my template, according to this page:
   http://www.addthis.com/blog/2011/03/03/addthis-for-wordpress-plugin-version-2-0-2/#.T6Op0Os5Ld4

   I added my style as an array in the plugin file (addthis_social_widget.php)

   $addthis_new_styles = array(
   
       'my_style' => array( 'src' =>  '<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_" %s ><a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a><a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a><a class="addthis_button_google_plusone_share"></a><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&pubid=ra-4fa382503d81907c" class="addthis_button_compact">
   <a class="addthis_button_email"></a><a class="addthis_button_print"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a><a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a></div>', 'img' => 'toolbox-small.png', 'name' => 'My Style', 'above' => 'hidden ', 'below' => ''
       ), // My Style

   And then added the code manually in the template with my style

   <?php do_action('addthis_widget',get_permalink($post->ID), get_the_title($post->ID), 'my_style'); ?>
