 * I am starting a blog, and this plugin was my first choice to enable social features
   on it.
    But there is a little problem. The sharing links appear as plain text
   for the screen reader, or even as “send?text=…” and similar strings for some 
   platforms as WhatsApp or Viber. Is there any possibility to change the text for
   these links?
 * And in the dashboard, when choosing and rearranging the icons, the rearranging
   part just has checkboxes. A visually impaired user is practically unable to rearrange
   them. Is it possible to put some labels to those checkboxes? I suppose it is,
   since the part where you choose which networks you want, just below the one for
   rearranging them, is correctly labeled. Just not sure how to solve it.

 * Sorry about it. We will take care of this in upcoming updates.

 * As a suggestion, maybe adding the title attribute would solve the problem, at
   least in the part of sharing services. The list of sharing networks works fine,
   the sharing services show checkboxes without any label, and the rearrange list
   simply looks like as a blank cell spanning two columns.
    I tried to solve it,
   and it works, partially. I changed the type of the input for the rearranging 
   section from hidden to checkbox. It works, but there is a little problem. The
   user must check all inputs in this section both in the standard and floating 
   tab, every time before saving the changes. If the checkboxes in this section 
   are unchecked when the Save changes button is clicked, these services/network
   are removed from the list of selected links/buttons to appear and the user must
   add them again. It’s probably my fault, because I’m not an experienced developer.
   It’s just a temporary tweak, somewhat tricky at usage time, but functioning. 
   Maybe it could give an idea about a proper solution. 🙂 Here are the changes 
   I made:
    - Standard theme (admin/social_sharing.php:1699)
       `<input type="checkbox" name
      ="the_champ_sharing[horizontal_re_providers][]" value="<?php echo $rearrange?
      >" title="<?php echo ucfirst(str_replace('_', ' ', $rearrange)) ?>">`
    - Floating theme (admin/social_sharing.php:2451)
       `<input type="checkbox" name
      ="the_champ_sharing[vertical_re_providers][]" value="<?php echo $rearrange?
      >" title="<?php echo ucfirst(str_replace('_', ' ', $rearrange)) ?>">`
 * Now, about the sharing services, it’s pretty similar, but somewhat different.
   The label is printed beside the image in the label tag. I tried putting it in
   the alt attribute, as a title attribute in the input, but for some reason it 
   didn’t work for me. Maybe you can find the way to implement it there, since this
   variant probably changes the visual aspect – I’m blind so I’m not sure about 
   it. 😀
    - Standard theme (admin/social_sharing.php:1777)
       `<label for="the_champ_<?php
      echo $likeButton ?>"><img src="<?php echo plugins_url('../images/sharing/'.
      $likeButton .'.png', __FILE__) ?>" /><?php echo ucfirst(str_replace('_', '',
      $likeButton)); ?></label>`
    - Floating theme (admin/social_sharing.php:2527)
       `<label for="the_champ_vertical_
      <?php echo $likeButton ?>"><img src="<?php echo plugins_url('../images/sharing/'.
      $likeButton .'.png', __FILE__) ?>" /><?php echo ucfirst(str_replace('_', '',
      $likeButton)); ?></label>`
 * I will look at the user/display part, and tell you if I find at least a temporary
   solution. 🙂
 * Hope this helps 🙂
