Bryan, Not trying to cause a problem, goal is to get your attention and help your plugin be better. The instructions I found even visiting your webpage were could not find anything, nothing but the maybe 3 sentences that assumes users (commonly) use the WordPress Menus to set up plugins Sorry not my experience. I thank you for creating the plugin, also that it’s opensource.

Did not work for me so I gave my honest opinion, Maybe the word “Simple” should not be used as I did not experience or “FEEL” that. Again not trying to start anything only being candid & sincere.

Interesting blaming the user, using the menus? Odd out of hundreds of successful plugin installs never came across one that used the Menu’s. It’s not dislike of using the Menu. Problem was all I could see was being able to add it to one of the menu’s that was clear.

So you’re saving all this plugin does is add the ability to add your social links via URL’s to a menu?

I looked for instructions in several places.

************************************************

Icons are set under Appearance > Menus.

Simply create a custom menu, add the desired icon names to the respective Link Text/Navigation Labels (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), assign it to SimpleSocial, and use the shortcode [simplesocial]
You can drag and drop icons in any order you like
You can set the universal icon size and color under Settings > SimpleSocial

*************************************************

Add the icons?
Assign it to “SimpleSocial”?
Use short code
I saw all that but still could not obviously make sense of maybe 3 sentences of instructions.

No screen shots, but I’m hearing install setting on the Menu portion is common.

“review feels disingenuous and retaliatory for what’s actually frustration with yourself”

Your plugin instructions feel like you assume too much and then blame the user if they just don’t see what you created and designed but due to unclear instructions you blame the user. Disingenuous? Right, like I’m wasting more time leaving a review for what reason? Because it was not obvious. Retaliatory? What are reviews for? It’s to share your experience and opinion, sorry of it was unclear and made no sense. Don’t assume as that is what is how this all came to be. You assume you’re right and your instructions are common and simple. Then because you can’t be wrong you blame users. Everything is “FEELS” with you. That really sounds factual, reasonable or logical. Feels like you are the “I’m never wrong” type and can’t accept someone is not agreeing with your design.

Nice response and also answers my other questions of who might be behind this plugin. I don’t assume but it appears you do.

Users please do yourself a favor and hire a competent wordpress wrangler as per the incompetent makers of this plugin who blame you if their product is non-intuitive nor ready for general use.

Remember as soon as you install it, your site may be inoperative but that’s how it’s designed.

Perfect, easy. Yes found them in the Main WordPress install under the same headings as above, even simple to cut and paste the names and emails from the database.

Thanks again GREAT PLUGIN and support

Note the problem was NOT with the Theme but with Google AMP plugin and system. When deactivated everything worked fine.

Thank you for the great fast support

I have the same problem with Firefox Andriod, no change or green signed when the sign icon pressed.

Thank you

solved

I apologize, my mistake, I spent a great deal of time to go thru the set up and even create a newsletter and for some reason did not do the Preview. I back out to add emails and then went to look for a send option not thinking you had to open and review. It just was not clear to me at the time. I thought I’m missing something but it should have been obvious but pn the WP dashboard there was nothing about SEND, Then you click on Newsletters and again no SEND even though you can see them. Did not dawn on me to click EDIT Again. To make matters worse I could not find in the instructions (first place I looked) a basic “how to send”. perhaps that was buried in the docs. if not in the preview you can’t see any SEND option. The other plugins this was more clear. I thought at the top menu there should be something about sending and stats not buried but hey that is what I’m used to.

I over reacted. Will change my review or delete it. Sorry for wasting your time “Yes I’m the idiot”.
