Why did you remove Google+?

By Michael Brütsch (NailedIT) on November 9, 2023

I mean I know Google+ is dead, but I always used it for the Google My Business profile. So please bring the G back (without the +)!

Not working on mobile

By thisov on September 7, 2023

The icons dosent show up on any mobile device!
Bad programming!

Screwed up

By Valerie6 on July 27, 2023

I've been using this plug-in / widget successfully and without issue for YEARS with StudioPress and suddenly THE WIDGET NO LONGER DISPLAYS THE SOCIAL ICONS THE WHOLE WIDGET WAS CONSTRUCTED FOR. Just boxes ON EVERY PAGE OF THE SIDEBAR. I am keeping I am not a programmer - there is NO FIX LISTED. I tried adjusting the colors, etc. This is REALLY UPSETTING as I rely on those links and now the user CANNOT SEE THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS. They can only click blindly and I see no easy fix. THIS IS SCREWED UP AND BAD PROGRAMMING.

Very nice plugin
