In reply to: [Genesis Simple Hooks] Will this ever support HTML5Thanks for the feedback, @ashmetry!
The plugin already supports a range of HTML5 hooks, such as
genesis_before_entry,genesis_entry_header,genesis_entry_content, and more.It’s intended as a convenient way to add content to commonly used areas. If you can’t find a particular hook or need fine-grained control over priorities, it may be a sign that you’re better off adding your modifications directly to your theme code.
If you feel there’s a specific hook you’d use regularly that’s currently missing, though, please say so – I’d be happy to pass it on as a feature request.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Removing styling from Icons@friveraus The icon isn’t styled with a bullet by default, so it sounds like a theme or plugin is overriding the icon styles.
If you’d like help tracking this down, please feel free to share a link to your site.

In reply to: [Genesis Connect for WooCommerce] call to undefined function@minikreations Yes – that will have the same effect as WPtouch. Well done for tracking it down!

In reply to: [Genesis Responsive Slider] Remove title link to postThere’s no option or filter to remove the link from the title, unfortunately.
You could:
– style the title not to look like a link with CSS;
– remove the link with JavaScript;
– untick “Display Post/Page Title” in the slider settings and place a similar title in your excerpt, or;
– try another slider plugin.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Genesis Connect for WooCommerce] call to undefined functionHi, @minikreations!
It looks like your site is using the WPtouch plugin. Using this plugin bypasses your Genesis theme on mobile, which is why you see the warnings about the missing genesis() function when you view your shop pages.
I suggest either disabling WPtouch entirely (your theme is responsive so it will look great on mobile anyway), or disabling WPtouch on your shop pages if it offers settings to allow that.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Blank Icons@sergio-cabral Sorry to miss this earlier. In case you still need help:
– There’s a step-by-step guide to finding the file in the network tab here so that you can check the type is correct: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-icons-sometimes/#post-8792546
– If the type is incorrect, you can follow this guide to resolve it (assumes your host uses Apache) or contact your web host.
If you don’t see the symbol-defs.svg file at all, it’s possible your site isn’t including it – you may need to clear all caches so the latest plugin files load.
Starting a new topic with a description of your issue and what you’ve tried so far is a good idea if you’d like further help with this.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Blank icons sometimesYou’re welcome! The screenshot was taken from Chrome’s Network panel:
1. In Chrome, visit the page containing the icons.
2. Open the Developer Tools (View → Developer → Developer Tools).
3. Click the “Network” tab.
4. Refresh the page.
5. Search for symbol-defs.svg in the “filter” box.You should see ‘image/svg+xml’ in the ‘type’ column. If you see something else, asking your host to correct the content-type header for SVGs, or fixing it yourself by following this advice should solve this for you.
If you already see ‘image/svg+xml’, sharing a link to your page would help me to find other potential issues for you.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Blank icons sometimesHi, @sunhawk. Did you see this topic? https://wordpress.org/support/topic/blank-icons/
Your issue sounds like the same one described there.
If you need further help with this or would like me to confirm that it’s the same issue, please feel free to link to your site.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Blank IconsHi Erin
Your site is caching an old copy of the plugin’s stylesheet. (It’s loading from http://d2i7hmnf1hrt1b.cloudfront.net/wp-content/plugins/simple-social-icons/css/style.css?ver=1.0.12. )
It looks like you or your host may be using a caching service called https://wpopt.net/. I suggest clearing any caching plugins, including third-party services like that one. You may need to contact your host for help with this if it’s not something you’ve set up yourself.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] How to move icons closer togetherThanks for the link, Linda.
I think the spacing looks great already! If you wanted to reduce it you could add some custom CSS to your theme, though:
.header-widget-area .simple-social-icons ul li { margin: 0 0px 12px !important; } .header-widget-area .simple-social-icons ul li:last-of-type { margin: 0 6px 12px !important; }I replied to your Google PageSpeed issue separately at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-pagespeed-issues-2/#post-8732177.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] How to set up email uirHappy to help!
Some site owners link their email button to their contact page for exactly the reason you encountered — not everyone has an email client configured, and you can always list your email address on the contact page alongside a contact form.

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] Google PageSpeed IssuesThanks for this feedback, Linda.
The “compress assets” recommendation is something that could be done by yourself or in a future version of the plugin, but to be honest the 19kB it would save is unlikely to make a noticeable difference to load speed on desktop or mobile.
The “eliminate render blocking JavaScript” recommendation could be solved by moving JS to the foot of the page (with a plugin such as https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/scripts-to-footerphp/ ), but again this is unlikely to make a huge difference.
Personally I would not let any of these recommendations dissuade me from using the plugin. General site metrics such as bounce rate, traffic, and conversion are generally more important than shaving 19kB off a site, and most sites owners will have more to gain by spending time on other factors (image size, content, marketing).

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] How to set up email uirThanks for the link, @wizlet130.
The mailto link on that page works well for me – it opens a new message in my email client immediately:
So this could be specific to your machine, rather than to the two sites you mention. If mailto links fail on other sites, it would be worth checking that your computer and browser are configured with a default email client.
(There’s a mailto link on this page if you’d like to test it on another site: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Introduction_to_HTML/Creating_hyperlinks#E-mail_links. The “Send email to nowhere” text works for me.)

In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] How to set up email uirWhat you have looks right to me. Have you cleared caching plugins after making this change? Could you share a link to where your icons appear?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Simple Social Icons] How to set up email uirHi, @wizlet130!
You can use
mailto:info@example.com.It’s important not to prefix that with
http://– it needs to startmailto:.If that still isn’t working for you, you’re welcome to share a screenshot of your settings and a link to the page where your icons appear.
