Hi, I am getting a white line underneath my first two (of three) icons. How can i remove this?

Is this plug-in down? I have no icons now.

I have WordPress 5.3.2 and this plugin does not work. It does not show icons, it shows circles with text inside like “EO41”, “EO40” and so on.
December 30, 2019 7:31 pm
This cold be caused by a problem on your server or a plugin conflict.

I really like setting up your widget! How can I insert it as a menu in WordPress? (for navigation at the top of the site.
Thank you!

Maybe you want to use plugins which are created to add icons in the menus?
https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/menu+icons/
If you prefer to use our plugin instead, I’m afraid it will be a little difficult, as you will first have to insert the widget in a widgetized area and using the Shortcode Widget generate a shortcode for that widget:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-widget/
Next, you will need the Shortcodes in Menus plugin to insert the shortcode:

Is there a problem with Social Icons. I can’t be sure when it started, but all the content for my social icons is gone. Not displaying on my site, and when I go into settings, all the content is gone — icon styles, links, etc. It is also affecting my newsletter where the icons don’t display on that either.

John, what’s the address of your website?
Do you have a caching plugin or one that minifies the CSS & JS files? Try to clear the caches. Usually this helps.
September 14, 2020 5:24 pm
site is mezzeandtapas.com.
I do have a caching plug it (W3 Total Cache). I have cleared all the caches and reloaded. Still nothing.
The social icon widget in Appearance has none of the info I had previously entered. Button style. Gone. Links. Gone. I had Instagram, Pinterest, and FB.
When I click the “Add More” button to re-enter them, nothing happens and I am not able to re-enter the info.
Since this seems to be an issue just with my site, would you like me to open a support ticket instead of using a discussion thread? Just let me know.
Thank yo for your help Pavel! — John

Pavel,
Ok — so from my mobile, I can see the Social Links. From a windows laptop, I can see the social links. BUT — on a MacBook Pro, they are NOT visible on my site. The MacBook is my computer and what I use to manage the site. It is new to me and I recently (about 2 weeks ago) transitioned from a Win laptop to the MacBook.
It is still odd to me that on my WordPress Appearance tab, when I look at the Social Icons widget, there is no content.
Is this something Mac specific??

I love this plus-in. I use it for the social media stuff, but I also use it for icons to me podcast, like Spotify. How can I add other icons? I would like the Apple podcasts logo, the Google podcasts logo, Tune-in logo, Stitcher logo, Blubrry logo, Android logo please. I am happy to upload them myslef, but I can’t figure out how.
It says: To add an icon with an email address, use the mailto:mail@example.com format., but I do not understand how to do this.
Can you please help me?
September 29, 2020 12:48 pm
I have the same question. The email icon settings force ‘https’ as a prefix so can’t input a valid format for mailto.
September 29, 2020 12:57 pm
Works fine – just had to use the default icon and overtype. Great widget!
October 1, 2020 2:06 pm
David, can you please make sure that you’re using the latest version of the plugin?
It already includes icons for podcasts platform you mentioned: Google podcast, Tune-in, Stitcher.
The only one missing at the moment is Blubrry, but we’ll try to find an icon in the future updates.
October 27, 2020 10:58 am
Please will you add the Mixcloud icons : https://www.mixcloud.com/
Also a single custom icon would be nice. One that I can specify my own icon and upload it to the list I can select from.
