Lightweight Social Icons (mod)

A maintained fork of Lightweight Social Icons with Mastodon, Telegram and refreshed icons.

Overview

The original Lightweight Social Icons plugin hasn't seen any development in years. This mod keeps it alive with a newer Fontello icon font that adds Mastodon and Telegram and drops the defunct Google+. It's meant as a drop-in replacement: swap the plugin files over FTP and your existing configuration is preserved. A proper rewrite is planned for an eventual official release — for now, this custom version is what's available.

Key features

  • Updated Fontello icon font: adds Mastodon and Telegram.
  • Removes the defunct Google+ icon.
  • Drop-in replacement over FTP — keeps your existing configuration.
  • Editable Fontello JSON config included to customize icons further.
