 * Hello,
 * I was wondering whether it would be possible to complement the existing fa-facebook-
   official icon with the fa-facebook icon ?
 * I can hack the plugin for my current use case, but this could ultimately be problematic
   for updates.
 * Cheers,

 * Hey jphilung!
 * We currently expose a filter to let you easily change the icon of any fields.
 * Here is a code snippet you can add to your theme functions.php file to achieve
   what you are looking for:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wpcw_widget_social_fields', function( $fields ) {
   
       	if ( isset( $fields['facebook']['icon'] ) ) {
   
       		$fields['facebook']['icon'] = 'facebook';
   
       	}
   
       	return $fields;
   
       } );
       ```
   
 * Let me know if that works for you!

 * Hi. Liking this new plugin. Really like the icons for social. I’m having issue
   with Facebook icon. It does not populate (blog.spiritusenergy.com). Any insight?
 * thanks.

 * Hi spiritusenergy,
 * It seems you theme is using another version of font-awesome (4.2.0) which collides
   with the version we are adding (4.3.0).
 * The facebook icon doesn’t display because v4.2.0 didn’t include the facebook 
   icon.
 * If you want an alternative you can add this little snippet to your theme functions.
   php:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'wpcw_widget_social_fields', function( $fields ) {
   
       	if ( isset( $fields['facebook']['icon'] ) ) {
   
       		$fields['facebook']['icon'] = 'facebook';
   
       	}
   
       	return $fields;
   
       } );
       ```

 * Hi Jonathan, thanks. Where should I add the snippet in the functions.php? Thanks.

 * You can add it almost anywhere. At the end of the file before the closing php
   tag ?> (if there is one) is a safe bet.
