Thanks Leland. Great plugin btw. * ony more question, * Is there a way I can add padding by percent (em) to the vertical share widgets on desktop so they are closer to my content and not on the outside edge of my browser? * I was able to do it with google console but I could not find the source file to make the change permanently * Plugin Contributor [Leland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/addthisleland/) * (@addthisleland) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-typeerror-t-data-search-is-not-a-function-error/#post-10512935) * Hi Dean, * Yes! You can move the floating share button a bit to the right by targeting its CSS class. * Try inserting this CSS rule into your stylesheet (you may have to adjust the ’ em’ value to the desired positioning): * .at4-share{padding-left: 1em!important} * Let me know if that works! * Thanks, Leland * Thread Starter [Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deane1/) * (@deane1) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-typeerror-t-data-search-is-not-a-function-error/#post-10512955) * That mostly did the trick. It caused the total number of shares to be placed to the top right of the share buttons though, the only thing I modified with your code was I changed the 1 to a 16. Is there any way to force the blocks to stay inline vertically? * Plugin Contributor [Leland](https://wordpress.org/support/users/addthisleland/) * (@addthisleland) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-typeerror-t-data-search-is-not-a-function-error/#post-10513048) * Can you try adding in this rule in your stylesheet as well? * .at-custom-sidebar-counter {display: block !important;} * Let me know if this works! * Thanks, Leland * Thread Starter [Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/deane1/) * (@deane1) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-typeerror-t-data-search-is-not-a-function-error/#post-10513151) * That did not do the trick. * I think I might just leave it on the edge. On my smaller screened laptop, it put the share icons in the middle of my content. * I’m sure there is a way to lock to the edge of the content, but it’s not that important to me right now. * maybe a future update 😉 * Thanks again leland. * [newview08](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newview08/) * (@newview08) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-typeerror-t-data-search-is-not-a-function-error/#post-10880979) * I’m having this same issue (you can see it on this page – [https://tinyurl.com/yajz845r](https://tinyurl.com/yajz845r)). * This error is: TypeError: (intermediate value).search is not a function * You can see it on this page – [https://tinyurl.com/yajz845r](https://tinyurl.com/yajz845r) * Debugger is showing that is coming from the following AddThis js url: [https://s7.addthis.com/static/sh.e4e8af4de595fdb10ec1459d.html#rand=0.5994284514962402&iit=1542220434007&tmr=load%3D1542220433408%26core%3D1542220433473%26main%3D1542220434002%26ifr%3D1542220434010&cb=0&cdn=0&md=0&kw=&ab=-&dh=qawwwabm.wpengine.com&dr=https%3A%2F%2Fqawwwabm.wpengine.com%2Fmake-a-difference%2Fshare-your-story%2F&du=https%3A%2F%2Fqawwwabm.wpengine.com%2Fmake-a-difference%2F&href=https%3A%2F%2Fqawwwabm.wpengine.com%2Fmake-a-difference%2F&dt=ABM%20-%20Make%20a%20Difference&dbg=0&cap=tc%3D0%26ab%3D0&inst=1&jsl=1&prod=undefined&lng=en&ogt=&pc=men&pub=ra-5be75679daea4c94&ssl=1&sid=5bec6a91e5fc2e43&srf=0.01&ver=300&xck=0&xtr=0&og=&csi=undefined&rev=v8.3.32-wp&ct=1&xld=1&xd=1](https://s7.addthis.com/static/sh.e4e8af4de595fdb10ec1459d.html#rand=0.5994284514962402&iit=1542220434007&tmr=load%3D1542220433408%26core%3D1542220433473%26main%3D1542220434002%26ifr%3D1542220434010&cb=0&cdn=0&md=0&kw=&ab=-&dh=qawwwabm.wpengine.com&dr=https%3A%2F%2Fqawwwabm.wpengine.com%2Fmake-a-difference%2Fshare-your-story%2F&du=https%3A%2F%2Fqawwwabm.wpengine.com%2Fmake-a-difference%2F&href=https%3A%2F%2Fqawwwabm.wpengine.com%2Fmake-a-difference%2F&dt=ABM%20-%20Make%20a%20Difference&dbg=0&cap=tc%3D0%26ab%3D0&inst=1&jsl=1&prod=undefined&lng=en&ogt=&pc=men&pub=ra-5be75679daea4c94&ssl=1&sid=5bec6a91e5fc2e43&srf=0.01&ver=300&xck=0&xtr=0&og=&csi=undefined&rev=v8.3.32-wp&ct=1&xld=1&xd=1) * Any ideas what I can do, other than to not use AddThis? * Thanks * Plugin Author [addthis_matt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/addthis_matt/) * (@addthis_matt) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-typeerror-t-data-search-is-not-a-function-error/#post-10881192) * [@newview08](https://wordpress.org/support/users/newview08/) – That error typically appears when someone has a privacy-related browser extension (ad blocker or similar). As a quick test, you could try opening the page in an Incognito window, which will likely disable the browser extension.
