 * Hello, Maybe this is related to updating to 4.8.3 but with the plugin enabled
   I get:
 * > Warning: Illegal string offset ‘icon_selection’ in /home/wholeb14/public_html/
   > wp-content/plugins/simple-social-buttons/simple-social-buttons.php on line 
   > 116

 * What’s odd though is that there’s another site on the same hosting account that
   is using the plugin without any problem.

 * Not sure if i was looking at the right site before. Because I just saw the same
   error on it. Updating the plugin fixed both sites. Thanks for the quick fix.
