Simple Social Icons is an easy to use, customizable way to display icons that link visitors to your various social profiles. You can choose which profiles to link to, customize the color and size of your icons, and align them to the left, center, or right.
Two Ways to Use Social Icons:
<ol>
<li>
Widget (WordPress 4.0+): The traditional widget works on all supported WordPress versions. Simply drag the “Simple Social Icons” widget into any widget area and configure it from the widget form. All available icons are accessible through the widget.
</li>
<li>
Block Variations (WordPress 6.9+): On WordPress 6.9+, this plugin extends the core Social Icons block with additional icon variations. These icons automatically appear when adding a Social Icons block in the block editor. Block variations only add icons that are not already available in WordPress core, so you get the best of both worlds: core icons plus these additional options.
</li>
</ol>
Important: If you’re currently using the widget, nothing changes for you. The widget continues to work exactly as before on all WordPress versions. Block variations are an additional feature that only activates on WordPress 6.9+ and doesn’t affect existing widget functionality.
*Note: The simple_social_default_glyphs filter has been deprecated from this plugin.

The <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/more-widgets/" rel="ugc">More Widgets</a> plugin adds extra widgets to use with your widgetized areas within your WordPress site. Use this plugin instead of built-in theme widgets so if you ever switch themes you can keep your widgets.
The plugin is super slim and well coded so you don’t have to worry about any added “bloat” on the site. Also all widgets do include default styling so no coding is required. Of course if you want to remove the default styling this can be done easily via a child theme (see the FAQ’s below).
If you are looking for a different widget plugin you may want to check out our list of <a href="https://www.wpexplorer.com/best-wordpress-widget-plugins/" rel="nofollow ugc">Best Widget Plugins</a> for other options.
