Description

Safesprite Icons lets you manage brand icons in a dedicated plugin library (collections/folders), sanitize every upload, and render icons with a lightweight <use> reference plus a single footer spritesheet.

Security first

SVG uploads are accepted only through the plugin Icon Library
This plugin does not enable SVG uploads in the WordPress Media Library
Uploads are sanitized with the vendored enshrined/svg-sanitize library (GPL-2.0-or-later), shipped inside the plugin
Front-end output uses sanitized <symbol> sprites + <use> — not raw uploaded files as <img src>

Features

Collections (one collection per icon)
Rename icon titles and collection names (slugs stay stable)
Trash / restore / permanent delete
Shortcode: [sfsi_icon slug="my-icon"]
PHP helper: sfsi_icon( 'my-icon' )
Gutenberg block
TinyMCE button
Elementor widget (loads only when Elementor is active)
Nav menu item icons

Blocks

This plugin provides 1 block.

SVG Icon

Installation

Upload the safesprite-icons folder to /wp-content/plugins/
Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu
Open Safesprite in wp-admin, create a collection, upload SVGs
Insert icons via block, shortcode, TinyMCE, menus, or Elementor

FAQ

Does this allow SVG in the Media Library?: No. Icons are managed only in the plugin library.
Where are files stored?: Sanitized SVG files live under wp-content/uploads/safesprite-icons/ with opaque filenames. Metadata is stored in plugin custom tables (not as custom post types).
What happens on uninstall?: By default, data is kept. Enable “Delete all plugin data on uninstall” under Safesprite -> Settings if you want tables and files removed.
What PHP extensions are required?: PHP 7.4+ with the dom and libxml extensions (used by the SVG sanitizer).
