Description

WP Social Widget is a plugin which takes a simple, extendable approach to display links along with social icons to your social networking profiles in WordPress

You will find following widget with options:

  • Background Color
  • Background Hover Color
  • Icon Color
  • Icon Hover Color
  • Icon to circle
  • Input fields to input your social profile links

From ver 2.0.0, we also have added shortcode feature . You can use shortcode => [wpsw] to produce the social icons.
Before that you need to assign social link in the shortcode.
For example [wpsw background_color = "#ffffff" facebook="your_profile_url"]

Here are the parameters of the shortcode given below
