@rogeriodec Maybe you can find the widget on the “Appearance > Widgets” page and not in the Elementor? I think the widget was added to a footer widget area in your theme.
Also, in Elementor our widget can be found under the “WordPress” section: https://d.pr/i/BQgGRD

That’s the problem.
The widget is on “Appearance > Widgets”:

… and it’s correctly appearing on the footer:
View post on imgur.com
… but it’s not appearing on Elementor:

@rogeriodec What if you type “social” in the widget search box?

That’s a strange issue.
Maybe you have a plugin or a custom snippet that deregisters somehow our widget?
Can you try to deactivate the rest of the plugins and/or switch to a different theme to see if this helps?
You were right.
The problem was with this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/the-plus-addons-for-elementor-page-builder/
Disabling it, the widget appeared normally.
Thanks.
In time, I would like to use the same configured widget in the current footer of my theme, that is, all the links that I have already defined there.
By creating a new widget in Elementor, I am forced to reconfigure all the links.
Is there a way to do this?

Good to know! We’ll take a look at this.

Yes, using the Widget Shortcode plugin, you can generate a shortcode for each Social Icons widget and insert the shortcode in posts or pages where you need it.
You can also create a hidden widget area using a plugin like Custom Sidebars if you don’t want to add the widget in a sidebar to be visible.
We’re also working on implementing shortcodes in our plugin, so it will be much easier to achieve that without any additional plugins.
