My icon styling changed after updating
-
If your theme includes custom icon styling, you can try adding this line to your functions.php file:
add_filter( 'simple_social_disable_custom_css', '__return_true' );This will remove icon styling options in the widget settings, and prevent Simple Social Icons from overriding custom theme styling.
