Easy to use, no hassle or problems so far.

I know it is annoying that twitter (AKA ‘X’) rebranded, but that was months ago and there is still no option to natively set their new logo as an icon. This is not a limitation of font awesome either as they have the x-twitter icon, seems like an easy fix! Edit: Looking through this review thread, looks like the last time developers updated font awesome in their plugin was over 5 years ago to 5.7.2.Todays version is 6.6.0!

Hi,When I tried to add new icon. It doesn’t work. After clicking the ‘save icon’ button, the log says: ‘Fail to update database’ and after that cannot use the widget because of the icon.Thanks!
