span[class*="simp…This is an excellent plugin. It’s easy to use, and it definitely fills a need. I love displaying the icons for various sites without having to hunt them down and host them myself.
The plugin would be even better if the maintainer submitted the latest version of the GitHub code to the WordPress Plugin Repository!
Very useful plugin and easy to use. Thank you!
Trashed my theme generated icons and replaced with Popular Brands SVG icons, Good Stuff! Thank you! Super lightweight!
Very useful 🙂
I love this plugin flexible and useful. My only suggestion is the menu should be under tools instead of settings.
