Overview
Links With Icons Widget adds a new custom widget which displays links with icons alongside. The links are dynamically added to each widget in the widget admin. This plugin does not use the links manager and does not create any custom post type to store the links. All data is self contained in each widget as widget option data. Images are added and managed using the media library and uploader.
Usage:
- In the WordPress admin, go to Appearance…Widgets
- Drag the “Links With Icons” widget to a sidebar
- Select the number of links the widget will display and save the widget.
- The widget will reload with the proper number of fields for the number of links needed.
- Fill out the data (URL, Title and Image) and save the widget.
- Viola! The widget now appears with your pretty icons.

The ideal situation for this plugin is for folks wanting to make a customized menu of sorts, with icons on the side and link text. However, I wanted to customize it for use in a footer, to make image-only links to partner and other network sites. The plugin author was prompt and responsive in helping me customize the plugin to get it to work the way I wanted, and the fixes are easy!
Plus, the whole plugin is very easy to use–bordering on self-explanatory, if not ACTUALLY self-explanatory. It’d be hard to mess up with this one.
Great Plugin
