<li>Custom – These will be unaltered via updates. Make sure you follow the same naming scheme as the other icons (facebook.png, twitter.png). You can look at the other icon packs if you are unsure about the naming. See the FAQ for more information on usage.</li>
<li>Note that some of the icons in the packs were created and added for this widget by myself. Not all of the requested social media sites were included so I attempted to create icons that mimicked the original artist icons. These are unattributed to myself. I keep attribution to the original artists since it is there design I modified.</li>
<li>All icons in this pack are licensed under the Creative Commons license. Note that some of these are non-commercial only. Please go to the sites linked above to get full information on their allowed uses.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Choose from multiple animations including:
<ul>
<li>Fade In (you can choose the starting opacity too!)</li>
<li>Scale (zoom in)</li>
<li>Bounce</li>
<li>Combo (All three)</li>
<li>Note: Because these are all CSS3 style animations, IE6-7 aren’t supported at all, although IE8 will support Scale. In IE6-8, icons will not be animated and use 100% opacity.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Create your own image alt/title tags for hover-over text (i.e. Follow Us On {service})
</li>
<li>
Choose whether or not to use the rel=”nofollow” tag in your links. (Recommended see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nofollow)
</li>
<li>
Choose whether or not to open links in a new tab (or browser window).
</li>
<li>
Align your widget left, center, or right.
</li>
<li>
Arrange the order of the icons however you like.
</li>
<li>
Choose to the number of icons per row. Currently you can have one icon per row or auto (maximum # based on the width of the container the widget is placed in).
</li>
</ul>

Social Media Widget

Easy to use. I like the flexibility of listing the services in whatever order I want. I also like that I can customize for a service that is not listed.

Only thing I don't like is the out-of-the box-Instagram icon is their former branding ( brown icon instead of the new pink one). I can get around this by doing a custom icon, but it would be great if it were correct in the regular Instagram line.

Really Like this Plugin

Adds links to all of your social media and sharing site profiles. Tons of icons come in 3 sizes, 4 icon styles, and 4 animations.

Schwarttzy

Schwarttzy’s Open Graph is a lightweight WordPress plugin that automatically adds Open Graph and Twitter Card meta tags to your website’s posts, pages, the front page, and blog posts index. These tags optimize content sharing on social media platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter/X by providing rich previews with titles, descriptions, images (with dimensions), and more.
Key Features in v1.2: 
– Support for blog posts index page (when separate from static front page). 
– Twitter Cards with dynamic card type (summary_large_image when image present, summary otherwise). 
– Featured image dimensions (og:image:width and og:image:height) for faster social previews. 
– Expanded article tags (article:modified_time and article:section). 
– Shortcode stripping in descriptions for page builder compatibility. 
– Media uploader button in settings page for easy default image selection. 
– Improved context-aware conflict notice and admin UX. 
– Developer-friendly filters (sog_title, sog_description, sog_image, sog_twitter_site, etc.). 
– Textdomain loaded, wp_head priority adjusted, and full WordPress 7.0 compatibility.
The plugin remains simple, lightweight, and focused on delivering high-quality social previews. 
– Ensure your theme includes <code><?php wp_head(); ?></code> in its <code>header.php</code> file for meta tags to render. 
– Test shared links using tools like the <a href="https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/" rel="nofollow ugc">Facebook Sharing Debugger</a>. 
– This plugin focuses on simplicity and performance while delivering best-in-class social sharing metadata. Developer filters allow further customization.

Schwarttzy's Open Graph


This is my light weight and simple plugin to include Open Graph data for websites. Ever plugin I've ever used make things overly complicated. There's no need to do that. The featured image should be the featured image. The title should be the title. Seems simple enough to me so I wrote this plugin.
