 * Hi there, I’m using your plugin on a couple of AMP sites but when I check for
   validation errors I’m encountering an invalid markup error as below:
    `<html …
   xmlns:addthis="https://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec" …>`
 * You’ll see more in the screenshot below:

 * Would you be able to insert his markup based on non AMP URLs only in order to
   achieve AMP valid status?
 * Great plugin by the way.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Famp-validation-error-addthis-data-api-markup%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi James,
 * I have this issue where the addthis icons appears behind text and image divs 
   on my AMP website. Did you encounter this problem and if so were you able to 
   solve it.

 * [@goldmaverick](https://wordpress.org/support/users/goldmaverick/) I didn’t use
   the floating buttons, but from checking your site the following might fix it,
   when added to your theme’s style.css:
 *     ```
       amp-addthis [data-widget-type=floating] {
           z-index: 99999;
       }
       ```
   
 * Great website, you develop the AMP sites yourself? If so why not apply to be 
   listed on amp-wp.org.
