Hi,
I want to have labels with the icon, but I also want them to all line up Left (not centred).
I’m putting it in the footer widget, is it possible to make them left aligned?

Hello!
Thanks for wonderful plugin! Have one question.
Is it possible to add “nofollow” tag to links? How can I do this?
Thanks.
November 14, 2017 11:04 pm
Dima,
We’ll add an option to add this parameter to all links in the next update.
Thanks for suggestion.
November 28, 2017 9:31 pm
Hello Dima,
We’ve updated today the plugin, and it includes such an option.

Possible to setup WhatsApp to call?
TIA
November 24, 2017 11:02 am
Yes, see this page for more details:
https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/general/26000030
Just add your number in a link in this format:
Use: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=15551234567
The plugin will detect the WhatsApp icon, and you can click on it to make it green. This is the HEX color code: #0CC243

How can i succesfully remove the icon?

It’s or my website http://www.glutenvrijinutrecht.nl

Hello, It could be a plugin conflict. Can you tell us what plugins you have active on your website? Or maybe you can try to deactivate all of them except our Social widget and check if that helps or not?
January 23, 2018 1:51 pm
Quite a lot of plugins: Askimet Anti-Spam, Boxzilla, Contact Form 7, Cookie Notice, Custom Sidebars, Disable WordPress Theme Updates, Fourteen Colors, Fourteen Extended, Frizzly Social Share Buttons, Google Analytics for WordPress by Monsterinsights, Image Widget, Photo Gallery, Redirection, Social Icons Widget by WPZOOM, UpdraftPlus, W3 Total Cache, WP Limit Login Attempts, WP Ultimate Recipe, and finally Yoast SEO. Any idea which one it might be causing the conflict? Would be quite a lot of work deactivating all of them…
January 27, 2018 1:37 pm
Eager to hear from you Pavel :)
January 30, 2018 8:53 am
I recommend you to check if you don’t have any outdated plugins using this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/no-longer-in-directory/
Usually, outdated plugins are the one causing conflicts with other plugins.
Can you also email us your website admin login details via the contact form from our website?
January 31, 2018 11:36 am
Hi Pavel. I’ll check for outdated plugins using the plugin, thanks. Why do you ask for my website admin login details? Seems strange (for security reasons) to give these out.
January 31, 2018 11:43 am
If you know a better way we could help you, just let me know. Usually, it’s much easier for us to login and check what could cause the problem, instead of trying to guess different possibilities. Of course, you are not required to send us your login details, if you don’t feel comfortable sharing them with us.
Also, we’re 100% convinced that the problem is from your side, as our plugin is used on more than 50.000 sites, and haven’t seen anyone complaining recently about a similar problem:

January 31, 2018 11:56 am
De-activating the outdated plugin (it was only one) didn’t work. I still couldn’t delete one of the social media icons in the existing widgets on my site. The only solution was to delete all of my widgets, and create new ones.
February 24, 2018 2:50 pm
Very easy to use plugin, thanks for building such a great plugin
March 2, 2018 11:46 am
Does it support uploading custom icons too?! Tnx
May 18, 2018 4:21 pm
Hi,
Please add icon for ello.co
Thanks!
June 25, 2018 10:28 am
Icon for ello added in the latest version 3.0.8
June 4, 2018 9:12 am
Hi,
I love these options provided by your plugin “WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Email, Telephone”.

Do you have LINE social network?
https://line.me/en/?
If the answer is no,could you add it in the future?
Thanks
June 25, 2018 10:28 am
We’ve just added Line.me icon in the new version 3.0.8!
June 25, 2018 10:46 am
Thank you very much
June 25, 2018 10:53 am
I don’t find the LINE icon. Could you tell me where to find it? Thx.
June 25, 2018 1:25 pm
I just made a quick update version 3.0.9. Please update and the icon will be available.
June 25, 2018 1:30 pm
Hello,I search for line but didn’t find anything.
How to fix it?
Thx

Try to type “line.me” in the field of an icon, and if it’s still doesn’t appear, please delete and re-install the plugin.

Sloved. Thank you very much.
June 25, 2018 12:58 pm
The 3.0.8 update added labels on the icons, even if you have labels disabled. Could you take a look into it.
June 25, 2018 1:16 pm
Marijan, you’re right. This is a caching issue which can be fixed by a hard refresh or you can update the plugin to the newest version 3.0.9, which I just released to fix this problem.
June 25, 2018 1:36 pm
Thank you, it works as expected now.
June 28, 2018 3:46 am
Could a Mixer icon be added? also we do some reviews and post them to Letterboxed and would love to have one for that also just don’t see the icon anywhere, may have to be something custom done, would make it if I knew how to.
June 29, 2018 7:57 pm
Hi! Just installed your plugin. It’s great! Only thing I found missing was the inability to center align the icons. I just have 3 icons that I want to show and they are all left aligned by default. It would be nice if there was an option to align the icons in the sidebar too.
July 6, 2018 9:55 am
Hey, Saima
You can do that with some custom CSS code. It depends on the theme you use, but adding the text-align: center property usually helps with aligning the icons.
July 16, 2018 1:14 pm
Now in the Widgets page a new widget called Social Icons by WPZOOM will be available.
August 9, 2018 8:11 pm
Hi there, I just started using your widget. We have set up plug ins for our social media platforms and they all work properly, aside from Facebook which is taking users to the WPZoom fb page, rather than ours… please help me with this.
October 26, 2018 7:20 am
Hello WP Zoom,
I am needing to add in the “Home Advisor” icon
How can I add it to the plugin?
Is there a way to create or add in an icon that does not exist within the plugin ?
=========
If not…
Can you please add an icon for “Home Advisor”
Here is a link to what the icon looks like …
https://www.google.com/search?q=home+advisor+icon
Thanks a bunch.
If you add it, please let us know.

Thank You So Much Friend, I just installed your plugin. It’s great! Only thing I found missing was the inability to center align the icons. I just have 3 icons that I want to show and they are all left aligned by default. It would be nice if there was an option to align the icons in the sidebar too.
November 6, 2018 8:30 pm
Thanks for your suggestion! We’ll add such an option in the next plugin update.
November 28, 2018 11:53 am

However i would like to click with my left mouse button on it to get my facebook opened.
pls advise
November 28, 2018 12:05 pm
Can you give us the address of your website? Or at least tell us what theme you’re using?
Probably this happens because of your theme, so I also recommend you to ask your theme developer for help.
December 19, 2018 4:00 pm
Hi,
Please add icon for ello.co
Thanks!

Hello,
My website is on the local disk for now. I am trying to remove WPZoom links in Social Icons plugin but fail. Also, I failed to remove unwanted icons and add my own icons and links.
