Buttons Appear in Header, Breaks Theme

    Hi. I’ve been a longtime user of Addthis and just recently moved to WordPress, so I was hoping to have it integrated back into the website. However, using this plugin, it somehow breaks my theme.

    I’ve currently turned off Addthis on my site, but to give you an idea: http://www.abyssalchronicles.com

    I initially had the Sharing Buttons set to above and below content in posts and posts only. As much as it follows it, once I am in a Post page, the buttons ALSO appear above and below my banner (the one with the characters) as well as on the top and bottom of the page, thereby destroying my theme.

    How can I make it not do that?

    OK, so I managed to fix it, but now I have a different problem.

    I don’t have AddThis set to show up in my archives, but for some reason it ruins my archive pages.

    Please see here: http://www.abyssalchronicles.com/all

    Then scroll down to the post that says “Here’s 30+ Minutes of Tales of Berseria Gameplay”

    Notice that the excerpt of that post isn’t showing up? A quick look at the source via inspect shows that the div disrupting the excerpt is from addthis:

    [code] <div class="mh-loop-excerpt">
    <div class="mh-excerpt"><p><!-- AddThis Sharing Buttons above -->
    <div class='at-above-post-homepage addthis_default_style addthis_toolbox at-wordpress-hide' data-title='Here's 30+ Minutes of Tales of Berseria Gameplay' data-url='http://www.abyssalchronicles.com/news/heres-30-minutes-tales-berseria-gameplay'></div>
    <p><!-- AddThis Sharing Buttons below -->
    <div class='at-below-post-homepage addthis_default_style addthis_toolbox at-wordpress-hide' data-title='Here's 30+ Minutes of Tales of Berseria Gameplay' data-url='http://www.abyssalchronicles.com/news/heres-30-minutes-tales-berseria-gameplay'></div>
    </div> </div>
    </div>[/code]
    How can I make it not do that?

    Hi there,

    It looks like there’s a conflict with our plugin and the theme you’re using. I’d recommend switching to the AddThis Website Tools plugin, which has similar features as the Share Buttons by AddThis. However, this new plugin has some additional advanced options that aren’t available within the Share Buttons by AddThis plugin.

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/addthis-all/

    Once you’ve installed the plugin, go to Advanced Options and look for “Excerpt Filters”. From there, try unchecking each of the options to see if disabling the options will resolve the issue.

    Let me know if you have any questions!

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Well, I tried what you advised and went with the Website Tools plugin, and that instantly solved the problem, even without playing with the Excerpt Filters. I’ve browsed around my site and it doesn’t seem to have the problem anymore. There must be something wrong with the Share Buttons plugin, then?

    Anyway, it’s looking better now, thanks!
