Add shortcodes for vector icons to the links

I wanted to add some vector icons to my list of simple links and I had to add these 2 lines of code in the plugin template.

$item = do_shortcode($item);

At the end I got the vector Icons from “WP SVG Icons” Plugin in a shortcode and it worked perfectly.

in simple_link_list_widget.php

Line: 47 – 61

<?php foreach ($items as $num => $item) :
	if (!empty($item)) :
		if (empty($item_links[$num])) :
			$item = do_shortcode($item);
			echo("<li class='" . $item_classes[$num] . "'>" . do_shortcode($item) . "</li>");
		else :
			$item = do_shortcode($item);
			if($item_targets[$num]) :
				echo("<li class='" . $item_classes[$num] . "'><a href='" . $item_links[$num] . "' target='_blank'>" . $item . "</a></li>");
			else :
				echo("<li class='" . $item_classes[$num] . "'><a href='" . $item_links[$num] . "'>" . $item . "</a></li>");
			endif;
		endif;
	endif;
endforeach;
