No IG icon. I don't need it
by k1rushqa·11 years ago
It’s another very good plugin but it’s useless for me because it doesn’t have IG icons/links. I guess I will use paid plugins. Seems like people hate IG or don’t know how to add 1 social media network.
Uninstalled in 2 minutes after I checked all their themes and didn’t find IG.
Bad job, would give 2-3 stars, if this widget was more complex but it’s very easy and nice to use. Could be the best free widget..
Great nifty plugin…!

Does what it says it does, unlike other plugins I tried..! Has a great variety of icon sets to choose from (you can even add your own set for God’s sake), and it’s very easy to set up. Oh…btw..the actual links open separate windows with actual pages, unlike other plugins..again…!!
Thank you creators…you saved me time..!!!!

Does what it says on the box

Note: AdBlock Plus with social media tracking blocking enabled will kill this plugin! Even in WordPress admin.
