Your FAQ link is broken – Need more help regarding the social buttons issue

    I am using your plugin as shortcode in pages. I too am getting the duplicate row of sharing buttons. The social sharing plugin I am using is Social Share Button SSB by wpkids. In the settings of the SSB, the checkbox to exclude custom post type has content_block in list which I have unchecked and it still displays.

    I’ve contacted him and he thought it was a theme issue which it is not. I then had someone try to fix with css which it worked for awhile but for some reason it no longer is.

    I would like to send the SSB developer some suggestions on how he might fix this. You have a link in your FAQs to but it is broken.

    Also, although based on your recommendation not to check the “do not apply content filters’ checkbox – I do not want to go that route, but I do not even see the checkbox on the content_block page.

    Hi Kathy,

    The ‘Do not apply content filters’ checkbox is currently only available when using the widget, so it does not work for the shortcode yet. But I understand if you do not want to use that option since it also strips out paragraph tags and other formatting.

    Thanks for letting me know about the broken link in the FAQs, the correct url should be: https://pippinsplugins.com/playing-nice-with-the-content-filter/

    I shall update the readme.txt file.

    I had a similar problem with the addthis social plugin. After trying a number of proposed solutions (and as the poster above, not wanting to remove content filters altogether), the only one that worked for me was a simple style rule: 

    .widget_custom_post_widget .addthis_toolbox {
	display: none;
}

    I mention this because 3 years after the addthis guys probably first heard about this problem (that’s the date of the link above) they haven’t done anything about it, and even they have recently removed some filters (addthis_post_exclude). Restoring these filters didn’t help with Custom Post Widgets, and neither did enabling custom fields in the plugin to add the addthis_exclude postmeta.

    You might consider adding this simple solution to the FAQ.
