Description
Note: Development for The Social Links happens on Github. Please submit an issue there.
The Social Links plugin adds a widget and shortcode to your WordPress website allowing you to display icons linking to your social profiles. The new version includes the following social networks:
- Telegram
- Google+
- YouTube
- Behance
- Bitcoin
- Delicious
- DeviantArt
- Digg
- Dribble
- Flickr
- Foursquare
- GitHub
- LastFM
- Medium
- Skype
- Soundcloud
- Spotify
- Tumblr
- Vine
- WordPress
- Telegram
We’ve also added support for a shortcode ([the-social-links]) for use in WordPress posts and pages and a custom template tag (<?php the_social_links();?>) for use in template files.
The Social Links is translation ready!

FAQ
-
How do I add the bookmarks to my theme manually (also for themes that do not support widgets)?
-
Using the shortcode (
[the-social-links]) in your posts and pages or by adding the custom template tag (<?php the_social_links();?>) in your template files. -
To keep the plugin as fluid as possible we have decided to minimise the amount of networks in the free version. If you have a network that you think should be added, please head to our support page to submit a request.
-
Can I use other icons?
-
We have decided that to keep a high standard for the plugin we will be using font based icons. All icons are styled by CSS. We are developing additional premium icon packs that you will be able to purchase.
-
Can I change the order of the icons?
-
You can change the order on your settings page.
