Steps to Reproduce

I can replicate this consistently on a similar simple test site. Nothing appears on the public site.

I haven't been able to recreate this (yet).

When using the legacy widget block, selecting the Social Icons block and editing it - I do get the icons showing. This is on a Simple Site/Premium Plan.

Have we been able to recreate this issue elsewhere?

I've also been able to get this working on the user's site - so I've replied in 4250489-zd-woothemes to ask them to confirm. Closing this Issue for now.

Another report of this in 34092365-hc (Scratchpad theme).

In the browser inspector, I see the svg element seems to be using icons that don't actually exist at the specified location:

Suggested user switch to the Social Icons block widget instead.

Suggested the Social Icons Block as a workaround for now.

Able to reproduce. Setting Normal priority due to high impact but easy work around.
