icons not displaying

They are displaying fine for me.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the reply. They work ok for me when I view on a mobile, but when viewed on a desktop they don’t display properly. I’ve tried Firefox and IE and both just show numbers such as “E801”.

I’ve uploaded a screen grab so you can see what I mean – https://merrymobiles.co.uk/images/Screengrab.jpg

Can you check your browser console & see if you have an error?

Hi Ron, I’m not sure what you mean. Can you explain what my browser console is? thanks

Can you explain what my browser console is?

How to get to it depends on your browser & operating system. For example, to find it in Firefox windows, go to a search engine & search for

firefox windows console

I have the same problem Firefox and Chrome and IE in windows last ver…

the plugin is not showing the icons but some creepy symbols like ascii with numbers… I’m sad, this is the best right out of the box flat social icon plugin… saves so much time.please bless us with the fix ??

The console does not show any problem! Tested in chrome’s

In my case this worked, because Im using the simple social icons widget in a page, using the widget amr shortcode any widget
this is the solution: wrap the code with the ad DIV with the simple social icons class:

<div class=”simple-social-icons”>Here goes the shortcode </div>

shxxit… this only worked in chorme.. ??

Solved for ever: open the PHP file of the plugin located in /wp-content/plugins/simple-social-icons

the file is: simple-social-icons.php

Tip: Recommended to download Notepad ++ to edit the file….

now search for this:

* Social profile choices.

now you will see a list with each of the social services…

raw code:

‘dribbble’ => array(
‘label’ => __( ‘Dribbble URI’, ‘ssiw’ ),
‘pattern’ => ‘<li class=”social-dribbble”>‘,
),

FIX it:

you have to add the class information to the

<li class=”social-dribbble”>

so the final edit is:

<li class="social-dribbble simple-social-icons">

do this to all the social icons you want to display without problem.

??

If you want to “lock” the plugin so it never updates -be careful its not recommended- change the version of the plugin in the first lines of the file to 9.9.999 or something like that.
peace
