<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.

Social Publisher is a GDPR-compliant WordPress plugin for automatic posting on LinkedIn – directly when publishing a post. It is ideal for agencies, editorial teams, and B2B marketing teams who want to save time and appear more professional.
To ensure GDPR compliance, the LinkedIn OAuth connection is routed through a neutral, tracking-free proxy domain. This avoids direct requests to LinkedIn from the user’s browser and prevents personal data leakage.
Why Social Publisher?
<ul>
<li>Publish your posts directly to LinkedIn upon saving – no copy & paste, no separate tool</li>
<li>Use custom texts and images for each post – perfect for tailored LinkedIn posts</li>
<li>Choose between personal profile or company page</li>
<li>Works seamlessly with Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) – even in the free version</li>
<li>GDPR-compliant – OAuth connection via a central, tracking-free proxy domain</li>
<li>Easy to use – no technical knowledge required</li>
</ul>
The Pro version is in preparation – with support for Facebook and Instagram as well as additional professional features.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the official LinkedIn API to authenticate users and publish content. Below is a list of all external services used, including what data is transmitted and under which conditions.
<h3>LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com and https://api.linkedin.com)</h3>
The plugin integrates with LinkedIn to allow users to publish posts from WordPress to their LinkedIn profile or company page.
Purpose: 
– Authenticate a LinkedIn account via OAuth 2.0 
– Fetch basic profile information 
– Publish posts (text and image) on behalf of the user
Data transmitted: 
– During OAuth: The plugin sends the <code>client_id</code> and <code>redirect_uri</code> to LinkedIn. 
– After authorization: A temporary authorization code is exchanged for an access token. 
– When publishing: The plugin sends the post content (title, text, optional image URL) and the target profile or organization ID.
When is data sent? 
– Only after the user explicitly connects their LinkedIn account and enables auto-posting. 
– Publishing occurs only when the “Share on LinkedIn” option is checked in the post edit screen.
Endpoints used: 
 – https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/authorization 
 – https://www.linkedin.com/oauth/v2/accessToken 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/userinfo 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/ugcPosts 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/assets?action=registerUpload 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/media/upload 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/assets?action=registerUpload 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/userinfo 
 – https://api.linkedin.com/v2/me 
 – https://social-publisher.enfants.de/oauth/start 
 – https://social-publisher.enfants.de/oauth/start?state=linkedin_auth_ 
 – https://social-publisher.enfants.de/wp-json/social-publisher/v1/linkedin/callback
<h3>Proxy Service (https://social-publisher.enfants.de)</h3>
This service is used as a neutral GDPR-compliant proxy for handling the LinkedIn OAuth handshake.
Purpose: 
– Relay OAuth 2.0 communication securely between WordPress and LinkedIn 
– Avoid direct browser connections to LinkedIn for better GDPR compliance
Data transmitted: 
– Temporary authorization codes 
– Access tokens (only during the runtime of authentication) 
– Selected LinkedIn profile URNs
When is data sent? 
– Only during the OAuth authorization process initiated by the user 
– No data is stored after completion of the process
Privacy Policy: https://social-publisher.enfants.de/privacy/ 
Terms of Use: https://social-publisher.enfants.de/terms-of-service/
Privacy Policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy 
Terms of Use: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement
No tracking, analytics, or unsolicited data is sent to LinkedIn. All calls are made directly or via an optional GDPR-compliant proxy provided by the plugin author.
<h3>Proxy and GDPR</h3>
To ensure compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Social Publisher does not communicate directly with LinkedIn from the WordPress admin interface.
Instead, all OAuth-related requests are routed through a separate proxy server (https://connect.enfants.de), which acts as a neutral relay between WordPress and LinkedIn. This prevents any tracking or third-party cookies from being injected into the WordPress backend.
The proxy server does not store any personal data, credentials, or tokens beyond the runtime of the connection. The connection is end-to-end encrypted and uses short-lived access tokens granted by LinkedIn.
This architecture ensures maximum privacy and a GDPR-compliant integration of LinkedIn into your WordPress website.

Social Publisher

Auto-publish your WordPress posts on LinkedIn – with custom text and images. For B2B, agency workflow, or personal usage.
