 * Hmm, it looks like options 2 or 3 would be better, as setting a minDate which
   is next month will still show the current month when the calendar opens, and 
   all of the dates will be unavailable, so it looks like we need to be able to 
   set defaultDate as well.

 * Your issue is around line 1132 where someone set the result of the call of an
   object to a variable of the same name:
 * > $addThisConfigs = $addThisConfigs->getConfigs();
 * In other parts of the code this is done as:
 * > $options = $addThisConfigs->getConfigs();
 * But in this case you’re just blasting away the global object.
 * As an aside, this is a **terribly written** WordPress plugin. The code is a mess.
   There are constants being defined and checked all over the place, and lots of`
   require_once` statements. All of the functions are in the global scope. There
   are no classes. Why would you ever do something like this in your code?
 * > define( ‘ENABLE_ADDITIONAL_PLACEMENT_OPTION’, 0);
 * I had switched some sites to use AddThis instead of ShareThis but with fragile,
   outdated, non-objected oriented, and non tested code I will be uninstalling this
   plugin and looking for a more stable solution. This plugin took down several 
   of my websites with it’s most recent update and that’s not OK. Even fixing this
   one issue won’t correct the other problems that I’ve mentioned. Perhaps if AddThis
   can rewrite the plugin using some of the best practices found in the Codex’s 
   plugin section it may be worth another look – but right now it’s just a mess 
   with a lot of future issues waiting to happen.
 * ps: nothing wrong with a `require_once` statement but put together with everything
   else that’s done wrong in the plugin the code just really says “I’m going to 
   be cautious because I’m not confident that this will work”

 * hi [@tailorvj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tailorvj/),
 * [@barat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/barat/) is correct, it was attempting
   to get the post types way too soon. the plugin has now been updated and runs 
   get_post_types() just before it is needed, after all custom post types have loaded.
   it should now work for you.
 * thank you to both of you.

 * this plugin does server-side redirects ( 301 redirects ) which do not have control
   over the “frame” of the browser. to get a new window or tab you may need to do
   something “client side” – like using a link that has `<a href="http://google.
   com/" target="_blank">google</a>`
 * maybe try searching on stackoverflow.com for “how to open links in new tabs”

 * thanks khromov. I’ve pulled updates from your github repo into the plugin. now
   that the hooks are being added during wordpress “init” I believe it will fix 
   the redirect issue. it is working for me, please let me know if you are having
   trouble.

 * I just remember using both plugins and the original one seemed to have a more
   intuitive admin interface and seemed to be less buggy. Perhaps some part of the
   code of the BWP version do things better (enqueuing scripts) but overall I find
   the original more stable and less confusing to use.

 * I think the author’s website is called “better wordpress” and so the plugin is
   thus called “better wordpress” minify – so it’s not really a better version of
   the minify plugin, it’s just his version…
