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.

To use this plugin – your theme (or child theme) must support it. 
To display additional profiles for user you just need to use native WordPress function <code>the_author_meta( 'profile-name' )</code> where ‘profile name’ can be ‘twitter’, ‘facebook’, ‘googleplus’, ‘instagram’, ‘pinterest’.
Code example (with Font Awesome Icons):
<pre><code><?php
 $prefix_twitter_url = get_the_author_meta( 'twitter' );
 $prefix_facebook_url = get_the_author_meta( 'facebook' );
 $prefix_googleplus_url = get_the_author_meta( 'googleplus' );
 $prefix_instagram_url = get_the_author_meta( 'instagram' );
 $prefix_pinterest_url = get_the_author_meta( 'pinterest' );
?>
<?php if ( ! empty( $prefix_twitter_url ) ) : ?><a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'twitter' ) ?>"></a><?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! empty( $prefix_facebook_url ) ) : ?><a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'facebook' ) ?>"></a><?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! empty( $prefix_googleplus_url ) ) : ?><a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'googleplus' ) ?>"></a><?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! empty( $prefix_instagram_url ) ) : ?><a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'instagram' ) ?>"></a><?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! empty( $prefix_pinterest_url ) ) : ?><a href="<?php the_author_meta( 'pinterest' ) ?>"></a><?php endif; ?>
</code></pre>
