Plugin not honoring color choices

Hi, Joni!

It looks like the icons’ CSS is being output in the front-end, but it’s using the default color settings, just as you say.

There are a few things you can check:

• Make sure there are no other Simple Social Icons widgets in other widget areas, including in the “Inactive Widgets” section.
• In the widgets admin area, check for errors in your browser console, in case a JavaScript error is preventing your settings from being saved.
• Try disabling other plugins temporarily, and switching to the default Genesis theme briefly.

If you want to override the styling from your theme’s CSS, you can do that with this CSS:

.simple-social-icons.widget ul li a,
.simple-social-icons.widget ul li a:hover {
    background-color: #999999 !important;
    border-radius: 3px;
    color: #ffffff !important;
    border: 0px #ffffff solid !important;
    font-size: 18px;
    padding: 9px;
}

.simple-social-icons.widget ul li a:hover {
    background-color: #666666 !important;
    border-color: #ffffff !important;
    color: #ffffff !important;
}

Thanks! That helped me too!
