To fix the ‘missing icons’ problem, first, understand this: the update deleted your custom icons folder and all contents, so…
1. In the Sociable plugin dashboard, select “Disable sprite usage for images?”
2. With your FTP client, create a new sub-folder in plugins/sociable/images called “custom”
3. Upload your custom icon images to this new “custom” folder
4. This next step is important! Go to the plugin editor and select “Sociable”, then select “sociable/sociable.css”, scroll down until you see this:
.sociable ul li:before { content: “”; }
.sociable img {
float: none;
width: 45px;
height: 55px;
border: 0;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
Make sure you change the “width” and “height” to reflect the actual size of your icon images. Save the .css file and then go to your blog post. It should look just like it did before the upgrade to v3.5.1.
