A video review of the plugin from Fedor Vasiliev.

Layout features in some Joomla templates

In some templates, the drop-down list with social network icons may not be displayed immediately due to the layout features of a particular template. For example, Joomla blogger Fedor Vasiliev discovered such a problem in the standard Joomla 4 and Joomla 5 template - Cassiopeia.

Check out the screenshots of the blog layout of the Joomla 5 Cassiopeia template category.

In this screenshot, you can see that the block with links is in the page code, but we do not see it.

And this screenshot shows the reason: the parent block - div with the class com-content-category-blog__item blog-item - has been assigned the overflow:hidden property. If you redefine it in the user.css template, the problem will disappear.
