Yes. In case you didn’t like any icon, you can create or used other image and provide the image URL.

Is this plugin GDPR complaint ?

Yes, WP Socializer does not collect any personal information of you or your visitors. If you have any concerns please do let me know.

Can I add twitter timeline/tweets to the sidebar ?

Yes, the plugin has out of the box widgets for Facebook, Twitter and social profile links. You can use them and add those widgets to the sidebar.

Does the plugin slow down my website ?

No. WP socializer is very lite an fast plugin. Except font icons, no external resources are loaded. Also the JS are loaded dynamically only when needed. Since all the resources are loaded locally, if you have a minify plugin you can merge JS/CSS files with other resources of your theme.

Is it possible to automatically hide share icons in small screens upon resize ?

Yes. WP Socializer uses JS to detect the screen size so you can resize the window to see how responsive the icons are on desktop and mobile devices.

Some icons are not displayed correctly and a empty square is seen

This happens when the font icon used by the theme and the plugin are of different fontawesome icon versions (v4 and v5). You can try going to WP Socializer –> Settings –> Font icon and select a different font icon version (or) you can disable font icon being loaded completely by fa_icons to “CSS/JS to not to load in any page”. Please raise a support topic if issue still exists.

Why are the share icons not aligned properly ?

Share icons are aligned using CSS. This alignment can sometimes be disturbed by the active theme used. This can be corrected by CSS. Please refer this image for the list of CSS classes used by plugin to modify it or else please post your issue in the support forum I’ll try my best to give a quick CSS fix for the misalignment.
