FAQ

Questions about Social Icon Display

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

Which Joomla versions does Social Icon Display 2.2 support?

Social Icon Display 2.2 supports Joomla 4, 5, and 6 with Web Asset Manager assets and PHP 8.1 or later recommended.

What does Social Icon Display do?

It shows a responsive row of social profile icons with Soft, Solid, or Outline styles, brand colours, tooltips, and an optional hover focus effect.

Does version 2.2 require jQuery?

No. Version 2.2 uses vanilla JavaScript and inline SVG glyphs. The old PNG and jQuery files are removed.

Will my icons survive an upgrade from 2.0?

Yes. Icon rows still use the same slide fields: network name, URL, title, and status.

Which networks are included?

Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, Reddit, RSS, Email, Pinterest, TikTok, WhatsApp, Telegram, GitHub, Vimeo, Delicious, and Digg.

How do Soft, Solid, and Outline differ?

Soft uses a light tinted button, Solid fills with the brand colour, and Outline keeps a transparent button with a coloured border.

Why are sibling icons fading?

Hover Focus dims the other icons while one is hovered or focused. Turn it off in the module settings if you prefer a static row.
