    What is the best way to add a new icon to the Social Simple Icon plugin. I was able to add the php but cannot figure out how to change the default icon to a specific social media site that is not on the list. Anyone know?

    Have you tryed accessing the style.css file for the icons?


    To speed up the process please post the link to the website in question.

    You'll have to modify the plugin PHP, but SSI uses a custom Fontello icon web font, so you'll probably have to re-roll the font as well.

    Ok, if you're remotely comfortable modifying code, I just added an icon pretty quickly by duplicating the fields in simple-social-icons.php, changing the name to a new network (in my case, Untappd), and adding another fontello font to the /fonts/ directory. Just bear in mind that when you update the plugin it will erase all your modifications.
