Easy Social Icons Premium

Custom social icons for WordPress

Easy Social Icons Premium helps bloggers, businesses, and developers add recognizable social links and sharing controls to WordPress sites without coding. The extension works with custom uploaded icons as well as Font Awesome social icons, and lets you connect each icon to a social URL. Premium utilities provide more control over appearance, sizing, animation, icon selection, and placement.

You can present social icons in a way that fits your styling, whether you need a compact row in content, a sidebar set, or a floating arrangement around the page. The extension also supports responsive websites, with settings for custom pixel sizes and separate sizing for tablet and mobile layouts.

Premium customization options

Use premium styling controls to shape the visual presentation of each icon set. Available options include shadows, gradients, 3D effects, custom icon shapes, and advanced hover effects such as animations and color transitions. Entrance and hover animations include bounce, fade, and zoom effects.

Premium icon libraries provide additional high-quality choices and custom-designed icons for various website themes. The source also lists SVG icon support, regular updates with new social platform icons, and lightweight icon options intended to support performance. Lazy loading is available for social icons.

Flexible placement and sharing

Place icons in several ways to fit different page layouts. Premium placement options include sticky floating icons on the left, right, or bottom of the screen, inline placement within content through shortcodes, and widget-specific placement with enhanced control.

The plugin can also show social icons alongside text labels for added clarity. Social sharing enhancements include one-click sharing buttons for posts and pages, social share count display, and predefined sharing templates with customizable styles. Multi-website support allows social icons to be used across networked sites, with centralized social sharing control for WordPress networks.

Ways to add your icons

• Use the [cn-social-icon] shortcode in pages and posts.
• Add the “Easy Social Icons” widget to a sidebar.
• Use the PHP template tag in theme files when you need placement within a template.
• Create multiple icon sets with different settings for widgets, shortcodes, or template placements.

Icons can be added, edited, deleted, and reordered with drag-and-drop controls. You can set URLs, target windows, dimensions, margins, alignment, and vertical or horizontal display. Google Social Profile Links are also included in the listed functionality.

Installation and setup

Install and activate Easy Social Icons Premium in your WordPress website, then open the plugin’s settings and instruction area from the WordPress admin menu. Create an icon set, upload your own icons or select from the available icon libraries, enter the relevant social URLs, and arrange the icons in the desired order.

Choose the display method that matches your workflow: shortcode for content, widget for a sidebar, or the template tag for PHP theme files. Adjust the style, size, animation, and placement settings before publishing the icon set.
