Social Icons not showing. Squares showing instead

  • Hi devs,
    I’ve had a problem once in a while and this time it took me very long to figure out the solution (again). I solved the issue months ago and couldn’t come up with a nice solution this time.

    My problem was that I had a global font defined:

    * {
    font-family: Ebrima !important;
}

    Therefore the social icon set was overwritten. Now at the moment I only made this hack to the simple-social-icons/css/style.css file in line 36 I added the “!important” tag to the “font-family: ‘ssi-icomoon'”. I see that there are a lot of other “!important” tags in that css file.

    So I wonder why you didn’t add the “!important” to the font-family? I looked around here in the forum for a solution and I guess that this “!important” would solve a few requests here in the forum.

    Is there a reason for not adding it into your css? If not, please add it, so that I don’t have to do it manually every time your plugin is updated.
    Thanks a lot

  • I tired this fix but still have the problem of small boxes showing up instead of the icons.
    Any other thoughts?

    I’ve had this same issue for a while without a working solution. I had to stick with version 1.0.9. After that, it breaks.

    Version 1.0.9 didn’t work for me and adding important! on line 36 of the style.css for the plugin didn’t work either. I welcome any other ideas or suggestions and would love to see the developer come up with a fix.
