# Issues with Widget

 * HI,
 * I just added the Simply Author Box Widget and I have issues:
    - in the setup of the widget I have a pull down menu for the author in the options.
      I have only 1 user on my blog. However, this user is shows 2 times in the 
      pull down menu (besides the “autodetect” option
    - the widget itself on the mainpage has the issue, that the icons of the social
      media accounts are stretched to maximum width. So at the moment I have 7 big
      icons. The widget looks like a big column of Icon-Pictures…
 * Can I fix it or does the author need to do it?

 * I’m not sure why the user would be displayed twice, we have not had any reports
   of that before and I can’t reproduce it either. Maybe it’s a compatibility issue
   with something 🙁
 * As for the widget and icons appearance, the theme’s CSS can influence those unfortunately.
   In case like that you will have to add some extra CSS to fix them.

 * Well, I don’t see the author box on the page you posted the link to so I don’t
   know. Is it visible anywhere at the moment so I can check?

   let me know, when you find out something.
 * Interessting thing is, that when I add this on a subpage, there is no issue:
