You can filter the custom CSS with the following code in your theme, where $styles is the CSS:

If you want to add CSS to the default rules, try this:

function slug_edit_svg_social_menu_styles( $styles ) {
    $styles .= '';

    return $styles;
}

add_filter( 'svg_social_menu_inline_style', 'slug_edit_svg_social_menu_styles' );

2.0.0 – 27.09.2019

Changed

• Use the menu item link text as screen reader text, instead of the channel name. This is a breaking change for those who left the link texts of the menu items empty, because in that case the social links now do not have a screen reader text anymore. To fix that, add link texts to the items via the menu editor.
