AddThis WordPress Sidebar Widget not Working on Pages / Posts with Excerpts

webmaster Jun 12, 2012 06:46PM EDT

I am trying to integrate the AddThis WordPress sidebar widget into my blog. I have the widget appearing on each page / post in the sidebar.

Everything works as expected, except on the Search and Posts pages (where I use automatic excerpts of the content) the sidebar is included but does not get activated (no `addthis` object in console.)

I am using `the_excerpt()` to show an automatic excerpt of each page / post on the search results, listing page etc. and it appears that the AddThis JS doesn't get included with these types of excerpts and the sidebar widget itself doesn't include the AddThis JS.

Is there anyway around this? Seems silly that the widget doesn't include the JS it needs to run...
