    Hello!

    I want to start out by telling you that I love this plug-in, it is a great tool for our website.

    I am having issues with the images being broken at the top. I assume it has to do with .svg issues, but I don’t know where I would allow the server to read .svg files (junior developer learning the ropes).

    Is it possible to change the images provided to different icons that are not .svg?

    I am currently using the Courage Pro theme.

    The advantage of SVG is a distortion-free quality of scalability. Bitmap images like JPEG and GIF become “pixelized” at scaling.

    The main reason for broken SVG images in the browser is the server’s setting. The server has to add an appropiate header so that the browser knows the file type. If it is not set the server takes the default and tells the browser the wrong type.

    You can search for documentations with the search term “server add svg”.

    Hi Martin,

    Firstly, just like Andrew above, love the plugin, can’t see anything else out there like it.

    I know you’ve answered Andrew’s query above but is it possible to replace the images with other .svg images?

    The only reason I ask is that they don’t seem to all conform to a specifc style, being all different colours etc. they look as though they’re all from a different set of social media/contact icons.

    I’d appreciate your response, cheers.

    Short answer: no.

    Long answer: I understand the desire for icons in different styles. But most companies do not like changed icons because that weakens their branding efforts. Due to copyright issues and guidelines I am very careful with using icons other than provided by the organizations.

    If you can code PHP or have somebody to code for you try to change the URLs of the icon to whatever you want with the help of the filter hook ‘speed_contact_bar_icons’: Change the URLs of the icons in the array $list_items.

    See more details in the section ‘Add an item to the icon list’ on ‘Other notes’.
