Lightweight Social Icons is perfectly usable as a widget, typically in the footer. What if I would like to embed social media icons to team members within the main content area? How do I achieve that? Thanks in advance Michael August 21, 2020 at 8:22 am #1412846 DavidStaff Customer Support Hi there, Unfortunately no shortcode or block option is available for Lightweight Social Icons. You can use this plugin to do that though: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-shortcode/ Personally if your using the block editor, then use GenerateBlocks to create your own social icons. The buttons provide icons and the ability to remove the text label. And you can control every aspect of it. August 21, 2020 at 8:29 am #1412853 Michael Thanks David – I figured out how the social icons work with the element you described. August 21, 2020 at 8:36 am #1412868 DavidStaff Customer Support Glad to hear that.

July 14, 2022 at 6:33 am #2282564 DavidStaff Customer Support Hi There, no its not possible. If you’re using the Block editor, we recommend using GenerateBlocks and its Buttons block instead of Lightweight social icons.
