-* showing up in excerpts

    The latest version replaced the “non-printed” characters added at the beginning of excerpts (addExcerptCode – which’s code comment says it prepends non-printed characters) with printed characters (+*-).

    This causes these characters to appear on the page briefly before the JS has a chance to remove them.

    This should be done the same way other stuff is done, using the _buildDiv method so the contents are hidden from view.

  • I have the same problem.
    Any sugestions to solve it?

    My +*- replaces any excerpt that should be displayed and therefore I can’t use addthis anymore. If I set addthis to not show sharing buttons at all with excerpts, nothing shows at all where the excerpt text should be displayed. I use a Weaver II theme.

    bump – they fixed the characters that broke RSS feeds with this latest version, but the characters now show at the beginning of every excerpt

    I sure hope this gets fixed soon. I really don’t want to have to find another sharing service as I’m using addthis on three other sites that aren’t WordPress where it’s still working fine. I want to use one service for all of them and don’t want to have to change everything out on four sites.

    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.
