Easy Social Icons

It does exactly what you want it to do, it puts linked icons on your site. Where does it put them? Wherever you publish the shortcode. The plugin provide the php code if you'd rather hardcode it into the theme. Lastly, the plugin creates a widget that you can just grab & drag to a widget area. 

I put the shortcode in a text widget on the sidebar. What I appreciate the most about this plugin is you configure it in the sidebar menu tree, not the widget itself. I'm old fashioned I guess. I don't like configuring stuff inside a widget.

To sum it all up, if you are searching for the perfect social icon plugin, congratulations, your search is over.  

Best social icon plugin I have tried!

Upload your own social media icons or choose from font-awesome. Use widget|shortcode to place icons anywhere(sidebar, header, footer, page) in theme.
