Really Like this Plugin
by Laura Byrne·6 years ago
Easy to use. I like the flexibility of listing the services in whatever order I want. I also like that I can customize for a service that is not listed.
Only thing I don’t like is the out-of-the box-Instagram icon is their former branding ( brown icon instead of the new pink one). I can get around this by doing a custom icon, but it would be great if it were correct in the regular Instagram line.
Don’t do it!

It was good last year. Not so much anymore. Locks you out to get your email address and sell you something else.
A “Killer” plugin
