Email link

Same issue here, kind of annoying. I can’t get rid of it either because if you leave it blank it defaults to the link to specificfeeds.com/follow

Other than that, lovely plugin, the icons look great and add a nice pop of colour to the page.

I hope the author can let us know how to work around this or update the plugin so that a link can be put in without the emailto: preceding it.

For now I’m just going to hide it by adding this to my CSS:

.sbr_text.social-icons.Email {
     display: none !important;
}

Thanks!

I decided I wanted to use the email icon after all so I’ve removed the ‘mailto:’ from the plugin. In case it’s helpful for anyone else, here’s how to do it (be careful editing plugin files and remember any updates will usually overwrite your changes so you’ll need to do it again after updating)

In top-25-social-icons/admin/widget.php

on line 323, change this:

if($text11 != 'https://www.specificfeeds.com/follow'){$mot = "mailto:";}else{$mot= '';}

to this:

if($text11 != 'https://www.specificfeeds.com/follow'){$mot = "";}else{$mot= '';}

Hide via CSS worked, thank you. – FWIW The fact that you can’t easily get rid of it and it creates a link to them by default means this plugin violates the WP terms of service and should be disabled by the WP moderators
