    Thank you so much for this great plugin; we have it on our footer. However, I wonder if you realize that it lacks some basic ADA functioning.

    Did you know that when custom icons are added (like I did on our page, one for mailchimp, the other for email), like those for email or 3rd-party applications such as Mailchimp, they are all given the same id, sfsiid_custom. The alt and title attributes can be modified but the id remains the same which can cause issues for programs that use the ids to differentiate between the custom icons. This can limit differently abled people from navigating the site with clarity.

    I wonder if you would consider fixing this issue?

    thanks so much

    Thanks Blake for reporting this, but what does it have to do with ADA compliance?

    Thanks for the response. Well, not everyone is able to use the mouse — even some visual users with mobility issues and those without vision need to be able to have equivalent access to the controls as those who can use the mouse. By ensuring that all of the controls can be navigated to and activated by both the mouse and the keyboard you provide access to almost all people.

    We will have a look, but we’re pretty swamped now, so it will take a while. If you want to increase our motivation to speed it up please check out https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/ 🙂
