Latest Class rewrite removed inside link for hiding text

Not sure where that span is coming from. I just checked the svn history for the plugin and I never had spans added to it that I can find.

That said,

footer[role="complementary"] [class$="_smsc"] {
    display: none;
}

should work just fine.

what that does, is make the <a> display: none; … clearly not what one wants if one merely wants an icon without the text. ??

what I’m doing with it is :

footer[role="complementary"] [class$="_smsc"] {
display: inline-block;
margin: 3px;
padding: 0;
opacity: 0.7;
width: 40px;
height: 40px;
box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
border-radius: 8px;
}
footer[role="complementary"] .facebook_smsc {
background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) url("/images/facebook.png") scroll no-repeat 0 0;
background-size: cover;
}

so without the invisible span internally, I can’t hide the text that would otherwise overlay the icon.

it’s entirely possible I’d added it myself to an earlier iteration so I could do this, and just forgot about it.

soooooo maybe I should call this an RFE? ??
