    I installed “Floating Social Media Icon” Plugin in my dev site to test, it seems to be working BUT I have the following message on my dashboard which doesn’t make sense.

    Your theme needs to be fixed for plugins to work (Especially Floating Social Media Icon). To fix your theme, use the Theme Editor to insert <?php wp_head(); ?> just before the </head> line of your theme’s header.php file.

    I looked in the header.php file and </head> doesn’t exist although </header> does reside there. Any Ideas?

    Hi @questas_admin, the wp_head hooks exists in Customizr. It is located in inc/parts/class-header-header_main.php.
    Many plugins use it and it works fine. You might want to report this in your plugin’s support forum?
    Cheers

    OK, I looked at the /class-header-header_main.php file and it already has <?php wp-head();> in it before the /head. Their forum (plugin) doesn’t offer any real help.

    Here is what I got from the forum supporting the plugin. Bear in mind that the Plugin does work, just had the nag. This resolves the issue. I am having zero problem with the them, figured I would post this in case anyone else wants to use the plugin. It is a really neat plugin.

    Hello
    Thanks for being with us,
    Its because of your theme problem.
    Please take a look at
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_footer
    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_head
    According to wordpress theme design guidelines
    Always have wp_footer() just before the closing </body> and wp_head() just before closing head tag.
    Usually header file name is header.php in most themes, and our plugin look for the wp_head on that file.
    According to the theme you using, its in another file.
    So that our plugin shows this message, if everything is working fine, You can disable the message on misc page of our plugin.
