I was able to get the customized icons to work as well. If you use hostgator, you can read a detailed instructions here (https://mvirtualoffice.com/my-virtual-technologies/social-media-widget-getting-your-custom-icons-to-work/)
The bottom line is that I got it to work using the following format (in my case):
* CUSTOMS ICON URL – https://wwww.yoursite.com/wp-content/icons
* CUSTOM ICONS PATH – /home/your-cpanel-user-id/public_html/wp-content/icons
For those of you with Hostgator, you can also read more info here (https://support.hostgator.com/articles/hosting-guide/lets-get-started/server-path-absolute-path)
Brian, thanks a lot for your awesome widget!
