Thanks @karmatosed

For the text/turn into a block, think about how we currently have a dropdown in the classic editor that can change highlighted text to a heading. Same idea, except it changes to a header block. My line of thinking is that this behavior mirrors how WordPress users have done this in the past and would present another (needed) level of familiarity as they learn the new UI.

On the blocks, predictive would be awesome, but really all I was suggesting was that the + icon between two blocks would have the same behavior as the one on the side, which brings up the modal to choose the block you want, instead of just adding a new blank text block.

I hate to be that guy, but is there any progress on fixing this? I’ve had the plugin disabled for close to a month now waiting on an update.

Honestly, I’ve just been converting the icons from the database at Simple Icons. The plugin supports 64×64, 32×32 and 16×16 sizes.

On adding more: I already feel the UI is getting pretty cluttered with the group that I have (especially on smaller screens). I’ve stopped adding new icons for the time being unless a massively popular new site comes along, until I can figure out how to handle more. Not sure if that can be a straight upgrade on this plugin or re-writing everything yet.

From the FAQ:

Extending

Developers can easily add more social media websites by creating a filter in the active theme’s functions.php file like such:

function add_new_icons($icon_list) {
    $icon_list['Reddit'] = 'reddit';
    $icon_list['MySpace'] = 'myspace';

    return $icon_list;
}
add_filter('social_icon_accounts', 'add_new_icons');

The full-website-id should reflect the name of the image you create in each of the icon folder sizes, or in your custom icon directory. It is also used to populate the class field of the icon when the widget displays. The Social Icon Widget looks for .gif, .jpg, .jpeg, and .png in order and returns the first extention it finds.

Looks like you’ve got this plugin mixed up with this one: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/social-media-icons/

To my knowledge, this plugin should be PHP7-happy.

That does- thanks. I see that the files are there- if you switch _unknown.jpg to something like facebook.jpg, the image file shows up.

Do you have any other special settings on the site? I see that you have two URLs that point to it.

Under the size setting in the widget, what specific size is it set on?

Good catch. I’ll work on getting that fixed in the next update.

Right now, they are fixed to order via alphabetical order. I’ve been working on a V2 of the plugin on-and-off for a while that would allow for rearranging in the future, but I don’t have a timeline for it.

In the meantime, you can manually sort them through your functions.php file, like such:

function add_new_icons($icon_list) {
    $new_list['Twitter'] = 'twitter';
    $new_list['Facebook'] = 'facebook';
    // And so on...

    return $new_list;
}
add_filter('social_icon_accounts', 'add_new_icons');

Can you share the settings you’re using in the plugin? And the theme you’re using it in?

The plugin doesn’t format links for any specific service- the link you save in the widget is the link that is displayed.

I’ve honestly put too many floats in here and need to get them out in a future release.

Anyway, to center the icons:

.social-icons-widget ul {
    float: none;
    text-align: center;
}

.social-icons-widget ul li {
    float:none;
    display:inline-block;
}

Should do the trick. Adjust as necessary to fit your theme.

You’re correct, mailto: before the email address is necessary.

Can you provide more information? Are there any errors? Is it trying to display a link in any way? What other plugins and theme are you using?

Interesting- happy to hear its resolved though!
