 * Set everything up and added widget to top bar. It shows the text I input but 
   the buttons aren’t showing up. How do I fix this? Thanks!

 * That seems to be a theme issue. Could you please place them via shortcode instead?

 * For sure. I don’t know what I’m doing – I can get to the text editor for pages
   and put in that way, but will I be able to get it into the very top bar with 
   the text editor? I’m not seeing a way to insert it within the top bar editor.
   I can link directly to social profiles individually (though the reason I moved
   to this plugin is because that wasn’t working well – I put a second in, and the
   first disappeared).
 * Now when I go in to edit, the social buttons show up for half a second at: Customize
   > Header options > Very top bar (then hover over the Ultimate Social Media nonsense
   button).

 * There should also be an HTML widget included by default. Please add the HTML 
   widget just like you added the USM widget and paste the shortcode as content.
 * Does that work?
