Title: [Plugin: AddThis] Support for Custom Post Types Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # [Plugin: AddThis] Support for Custom Post Types * [ajuliano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajuliano/) * (@ajuliano) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-support-for-custom-post-types/) * 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() ) $display = false; ``` * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/addthis/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/addthis/) Viewing 7 replies - 1 through 7 (of 7 total) * [Aaron Jorbin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jorbin/) * (@jorbin) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-2310017) * Hi Ajuliano, * The best way to remove it from custom post types would be to use the addthis_post_exclude filter. You could do something along the lines of: * ``` add_filter('addthis_post_exclude', 'my_addthis_post_exclude_filter'); function my_addthis_post_exclude_filter($display) { if ( 'my_custom_post_type' == get_post_type() ) $display = false; return $display; } ``` * [madhavaji](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madhavaji/) * (@madhavaji) * [14 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-2310032) * Hey Aaron, * Great fix my man.. works like a charm 🙂 * Michael. * [stevemagruder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevemagruder/) * (@stevemagruder) * [14 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-2310062) * 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. * Thread Starter [ajuliano](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ajuliano/) * (@ajuliano) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-2310065) * 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 $display; } ``` * Do you think there’s a better way of doing it? * [stevemagruder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stevemagruder/) * (@stevemagruder) * [14 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-2310066) * ajuliano, here’s a much simpler way: * ``` add_filter('addthis_post_exclude', 'my_addthis_post_exclude_filter'); function my_addthis_post_exclude_filter($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; } ``` * [majakovskij](https://wordpress.org/support/users/majakovskij/) * (@majakovskij) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-2310103) * Thank you all for the tip!! * [Agnes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/agneslesagegmailcom/) * (@agneslesagegmailcom) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addthis-support-for-custom-post-types/#post-2310114) * 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](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' => '
