 * In WP, when editing or adding a post, the checkbox “Show AddThis sharing buttons”
   is checked and this breaks the XSL stylesheet that renders our WP newsfeed. This
   switch is adding additional HTML to our description element in our feed. This
   checkbox is checked by default. Is there a way to make this unchecked by default?

 * Dear adddthis_matt,
 * good news. Looking forward to a new version.
 * I´m not that firm with WP to install a newer/older Version of something. Better
   not to try&error in WP, its behaviour is to unpredictable.
 * I dont´s bring in any kind of tags, actually, I don´t know what that is, so I
   think no.
 * thanks for your help and have a good time.
    w/regards Michael

 * We believe 5.0.3 resolves the issue with the +*- characters. I’m marking this
   thread as resolved, but if we’re mistaken about the fix, please feel free to 
   reopen it or reach out to us and let us know about the issue.
