### 󠀁[The social links work!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-social-links-work/)󠁿

I tried 3 different author bios before this one – and none looked as nice, or had
the functionality as Custom About Author. This is the only one where the social 
links actually work! Surprised by the low ratings, as I would highly recommend this
plugin.
