No IG icon. I don't need it

It’s another very good plugin but it’s useless for me because it doesn’t have IG icons/links. I guess I will use paid plugins. Seems like people hate IG or don’t know how to add 1 social media network

Great nifty plugin…!

Does what it says it does, unlike other plugins I tried..! Has a great variety of icon sets to choose from (you can even add your own set for God’s sake), and it’s very easy to set up. Oh…btw..the act
