 * Hello!
 * I want to use custom set of buttons. What I do:
 * 1) Select radio “Custom button” in basic settings
    2) Go to [https://www.addthis.com/get/sharing](https://www.addthis.com/get/sharing),
   choose the set and style I want, get code:
 *     ```
       <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
       <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style">
       <a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_vk"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_odnoklassniki_ru"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone_share"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
       </div>
       <script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};</script>
       <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-51f6acb90dd7263c"></script>
       <!-- AddThis Button END -->
       ```
   
 * 3) Return to wp admin area, paste whole code to box, save
 * The problem that saving cuts “<script>” tags and code transforms to:
 *     ```
       <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
       <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style">
       <a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_vk"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_odnoklassniki_ru"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone_share"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
       </div>
       var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};
   
       <!-- AddThis Button END -->
       ```
   
 * Please mind standalone line in the end of the code:
 * `var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true};`
 * It is the part of cut <script> tags.
 * Not sure if these two <script> lines are important, but I can’t keep them after
   saving.

 * You actually need only this part:
 *     ```
       <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_16x16_style">
       <a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_vk"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_odnoklassniki_ru"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_google_plusone_share"></a>
       <a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
       </div>
       ```
   
 * The <script> tags are removed for security reasons.
