No SVG support

Unfortunately the plugin doesn’t handle SVG files

Didn’t Do Anything!

After installation and activation, selected the image for the Favicon, and then, nothing. The screen was blank. Tried several times. Just didn’t work.

Looks great. Doesn’t work

Another great looking plugin that just does not work. Also, you have to use icons for everything. Where is the “Get a quote” icon? You need to add text and make it functional. You can’t add #anchor li

Highly recommend!

Excellent and very smart plugin. We could use even more icons because Font Awesome doesn’t have icon for e.g. Google Business Profile.

AWESOME MOBILE WORDPRESS PLUGIN

Adding “XFN attributes” option under “Add a query string parameter” would be appreciated. Thank you for your hard work and efforts.
