Ascii characters instead of icon.

  • When you go to the “live” site in the upper right, the icon has ascii characters in it instead of the logo for the social media. I uninstalled and deleted the plugin and reinstalled it and nothing changed. The icon works on chrome but not IE and FF.

    If you go to the “test” site in the upper right, the icon is appearing perfectly.

    The test site is a backup of the live site and then both were recently upgraded to WP 3.9.1 and all plugins etc.

    Any help to how to solve this is appreciated. Love the plugin!
    Thanks!

  • It took me some time to find a solution, but it worked once I selected “simple text” from the widget appearance options.

    I’m learning a lot more about WordPress as I go, but I’m pretty sure there are four widget classes that you can choose from.

    Edit: I tried moving the Simple Social Icons around in my Artisteer generated theme and discovered it doesn’t work in the footer.

    I used developer tools on Firefox to uncheck style properties, but I couldn’t find anything that would help. I’ll have to figure it out eventually, because that’s where I want the plugin to be. For now, I need to finish up my theme. If anyone else has time to check it out, please do and help us.

    It looks like you have it working though, skippywp. How’d you do it?
