 * Ever since I updated WordPress and/or AddThis, my buttons have disappeared. (
   I don’t know exactly what did it as I didn’t notice it right away)
 * Looking at the generated code at the footer of a blog post, it appears the initial
   code for the buttons is being added, but none of the actual buttons are being
   injected:
    `<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a><a class="addthis_button_twitter"
   ></a><a class="addthis_button_email"></a><a class="addthis_button_pinterest_share"
   ></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"
   ></a>`
 * At the top of the html, there’s also:
 *     ```
       <!--[if lt IE 7]><html lang="en-US" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns:addthis="http://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec"  prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7"> <![endif]--> <!--[if (IE 7)&!(IEMobile)]><html<br />
       lang="en-US" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns:addthis="http://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec"  prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8"><![endif]--> <!--[if (IE 8)&!(IEMobile)]><html<br />
       lang="en-US" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns:addthis="http://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec"  prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" class="no-js lt-ie9"><![endif]--> <!--[if gt IE 8]><!--><html<br />
       lang="en-US" xmlns:fb="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns:addthis="http://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec"  prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" class="no-js"><!--<![endif]-->
       ```
   
 * With the class .no-js, I’m going to assume that means the javascript isn’t being
   loaded, which would probably explain why the buttons aren’t being injected in
   the code. So not sure if that’s some new change I’m missing or if the plugin 
   is just broken on 4.0.
 * I saw someone else say that W3 Total Cache might be causing issues for them. 
   I also have that activated, but tried deactivating it and it didn’t seem to make
   a difference for me.
 * If it helps for debugging, here’s all the plugins I have activated:
    - AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget
    - Disqus
    - Google Content Experiments
    - Jetpack
    - Post Reading Time
    - Redirection
    - The Subtitle
    - User Photo
    - W3 Total Cache
    - WordPress Popular Posts
    - WordPress SEO
    - WP Migrate DB Pro
    - WP No Category Base
    - WP Smush.it

 * We have checked and find addthis script is loading on home page and some other
   pages, but not on blog pages. Since your theme is not available to us, we cannot
   figure out what the actual problem is. If your theme is using different footer
   files for blog, please try to include `<?php wp_footer(); ?>` in it.
 * Also note that, from the plugin version 4.0, you need to configure the button
   positions from addthis site dashboard.
