 * I installed “Floating Social Media Icon” Plugin in my dev site to test, it seems
   to be working BUT I have the following message on my dashboard which doesn’t 
   make sense.
 * > Your theme needs to be fixed for plugins to work (Especially Floating Social
   > Media Icon). To fix your theme, use the Theme Editor to insert <?php wp_head();?
   > > just before the </head> line of your theme’s header.php file.
 * I looked in the header.php file and </head> doesn’t exist although </header> 
   does reside there. Any Ideas?

 * Hi [@questas_admin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/questas_admin/), the 
   wp_head hooks exists in Customizr. It is located in inc/parts/class-header-header_main.
   php.
    Many plugins use it and it works fine. You might want to report this in
   your plugin’s support forum? Cheers

 * OK, I looked at the /class-header-header_main.php file and it already has <?php
   wp-head();> in it before the /head. Their forum (plugin) doesn’t offer any real
   help.

 * Here is what I got from the forum supporting the plugin. Bear in mind that the
   Plugin does work, just had the nag. This resolves the issue. I am having zero
   problem with the them, figured I would post this in case anyone else wants to
   use the plugin. It is a really neat plugin.
