   thanks for this!

   One snag for me: replacing ‘post’ with my ‘custom_post_type_name’ is removing any Add This instances from the Posts pages.

   Can you expound on this snippet?

   Thanks in advance.

   the !is_singular( ‘post’ ) is removing from all that is not post. If you replace with your custom post type, it changes to remove from all that is not custom post type. If you only want to remove from custom post type, change post to post type name and remove the ! (exclamation point) before

   //Exclude AddThis widgets from posts
   add_filter('addthis_post_exclude', 'addthis_post_exclude');
   function addthis_post_exclude($display) {
     if ( is_singular( 'post' ) )
       $display = false;
     return $display;
   }

   This worked for Steve C’s case that I assisted him with:

   add_filter(‘addthis_post_exclude’, ‘addthis_post_exclude’);
   function addthis_post_exclude($display) {
   global $post;
   if( get_post_type($post->ID) == ‘text_sliders’)
   $display = false;
   return $display;
   }

   Where ‘text_sliders’ was the slug of his custom post type. The goal was to remove AddThis from being added to slides in a slideshow placed in the site header.

   Should have wrapped that in code tags:

   add_filter(‘addthis_post_exclude’, ‘addthis_post_exclude’);
   function addthis_post_exclude($display) {
   global $post;
   if( get_post_type($post->ID) == ‘text_sliders’)
   $display = false;
   return $display;
   }

   Yes, thanks Jarrod! That was the ticket… the original code was not showing changes to just the custom post types, but rather to all post types.

   Thanks for the quick response originally, Melanie. Hope this tidbit helps build-out your proposed fix(es) for various scenarios.
