This widget is everything I ever wanted (so far) in a WordPress widget. Built to stand on it’s own, you can create as many these in different sidebars that you want. I wanted a unique widget for every podcast I was hosting on the AM Podcast Network. Each podcast could have it’s own support widget and it opened up new doors immediately.
There are 3 main areas of this widget to ensure you get your financial support, social support, and newsletter support. While I designed this for podcasting, it can be used on every single WordPress site. You have full control of all the controls and it uses Font Awesome for social icons that you can size. The widget supports Sendy and Mailchimp. I will consider adding more in the future.
I found it frustrating that getting widgets or plugins that are built with Sendy either suck or are premium plugins. This is the reason it’s free with no “Premium” version planned. If you are able to donate or support at all, it’s appreciated. No support is required to use this. All further updates will come as needed.
Let’s dissect this a little further:
Patreon
<ul>
<li>The image for Patreon support should be a 300 x 300px.</li>
<li>Add your Patreon link and it will be an easy click for your supporters.</li>
<li>You can check the box on the widget to disable Patreon support.</li>
<li>Future platform support will be considered.</li>
</ul>
Social Network Icons
<ul>
<li>You choose the color & text size.</li>
<li>Only links you fill in will show.</li>
<li>This has 20 support links: A few notes about the sections above: Android (Google Play), Apple (iTunes), Behance, BTC (Bitcoin), Facebook, Github, Google Plus, Home (website link), Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium, Pinterest, RSS, SoundCloud, Trello, Twitch, Tumblr, Twitter, and YouTube.</li>
<li>All clicks open new tab/window.</li>
</ul>
Newsletter Section
<ul>
<li>You can choose Sendy or Mailchimp.</li>
<li>Add your API URL, API Key, and List ID for Sendy.</li>
<li>Add API Key & List ID for Mailchimp.</li>
<li>The widget can only use one or the other, not both at the same time.</li>
<li>Change the Successful Subscription Message to your own message.</li>
</ul>

A time may come when your copy of Patreon Connect is de-activated or not running. When that time comes, its a good idea to have backup. Safety Jacket will ensure your Patreon Content is hidden – even when Patreon Connect isnt functioning. This is the safety net.
