I don't want the new options and dashboard, ruined the whole site

Hi Enis,

Could you give us some more information regarding the features that you’d like to see added to the new version? If you could provide us with some specific examples, we’d greatly appreciate the feedback.

Hi Matt,

thanks for following up on my post.

I have been using the AddThis plugin now for a year and I tend to keep the website clean and simple. This means that the widget addthis is shown on the (top right corner of the) homepage just once. It displays 5 big icons (addthis_default_style with big icons). I achieved this by calling the the widget in my header via:
<?php do_action( 'addthis_widget', get_permalink( $post ), get_the_title( $post ), 'below' ); ?>

On the homepage there there are more than 10 excerpts shown and I do not wish to use the addthis function above/below the excerpt.

On the blog post page it self, the addthis function is shown at the exact same location (top right corner) and in the post info section (addthis_pill_style with just a share button), I also achieved this by using the following code:
<?php do_action( 'addthis_widget', get_permalink( $post ), get_the_title( $post ), 'below' ); ?>

(I am aware that the code is the same, but still there are two different styles shown :))

When using version 4.0.3 it forces me to connect to the dashboard and when I do understand the better user experience (user friendly setup), it breaks my customization (theme) and I can’t seem to get the addthis function to show up at the places I want it to show up.

The solution for me, after posting my one star, was to go bacn to an an old version. I can send you the website link per dm if you want to see the website.

Hello,

The same issue. Tried many things with do_action, have read a lot of posts talking about “custom” and so on but never works.
All the tutorials I’ve read seem too old.

Thinking to rolling back to an older version too. But this is sad.

@enis – Thanks for your feedback. I’ve talked with our developers and they are looking into adding support for do_action() in one of our future 4.x versions.

@deodat – For now, I’d recommend using our 3.5.10 version that will support do_action(). You can find the older version here:

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the recommendation. I’m rolling back to the 3.5.10 version till a new version resolving this issue.

Best,

Link to 3.5.xx is broken.

Hmm, it seems to be working for me and one of my colleagues. Here’s a direct link, maybe that will help:

Thanks Matt, it worked ??

@addthis_matt, thank you, appreciate it and will keep an eye on the future updates.
