    It would be really helpful if you added an Email button, one that can be linked to a MailChimp signup form, for example.

    It would also be really cool if you implemented Font Awesome icons into this plugin, and allow CSS-generated icons, where we could define the color of the icon and the background color of the button. Just a thought. Haven’t seen any other social sharing plugins that do this, but it would be a great feature to allow the plugin to work well with any design.

    Thanks for the suggestions, Tevya! I’ve actually looked into the Font Awesome icons, but decided against them, as the font doesn’t contain all of the icons that the plugin supports. However, if you’re a bit savvy with CSS, they should be easy to swap out!

    Okay, I’ll look into that. What about an email button?

    You could add an email button with the following code in your theme’s functions.php file:

    function add_new_icons($icon_list) {
        $icon_list['Email'] = 'email';
    
        return $icon_list;
    }
    add_filter('social_icon_accounts', 'add_new_icons');

    As it stands with WordPress. 3.9 entering its final stages, I’m not planning on any new updates on the plugin until its released. Once its out though, I’ll be looking through for any compatibility issues and can make updates to the available social networks then.

    Email icons have been officially added to the plugin in the 14.04 update.

    Excellent!

    Here’s hoping for Font Awesome icons in the future.
