 * After looking at the widget source, I’ve deciphered what [@charvan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/charvan/)
   was getting at.
 * The problem is not with the widget per se, but with the way that other themes
   include widgets within their rendered pages. For the plugin to work, it needs
   its widget code to be contained within a div of class `simple-social-icons`. 
   My theme wasn’t applying class names properly to each widget, meaning that the
   plugin is not styled properly; it relies on being assigned a specific font which
   includes the social media icons.
 * I’m using a theme called _fullscreen_. To fix the problem, I went into the wp-
   content/themes/fullscreen directory, and looked for where widgets are included(
   at the command line, “grep -r before_widget .”). It turns out they’re in lib/
   widgets.php.
 * Beforehand, the relevant line of code looked like this (hoping formatting works
   OK):
 * `'before_widget' => '<div class="item">',`
 * To fix it, I amended it to:
 * `'before_widget' => '<div class="item %2$s">',`
 * (I had to make this change in 3 different places to amend the way that widgets
   are displayed in different parts of the page.)
 * Hope that helps.
