Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Advanced social icons help you quickly add icons with links to your profiles on different social media platforms. The plugin uses icons from Font Awesome, which gives you the possibility to display various popular social icons via widgets. You can use custom icons to add links to anything you want.

No configuration is necessary, other than having links to your social media profiles in the built-in WordPress menus. Add links to any of these social sites under Appearance > Menus, then enable the plugin.
