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

Sticky Social Icons is a lightweight, mobile-friendly social media plugin that lets you add floating sticky social icons to any WordPress site — without writing a single line of code. Visitors get instant access to your WhatsApp, phone, email, and every social channel right from the side of the screen.

Designed for businesses, creators, agencies, and stores, the plugin works out of the box with both block and classic themes, and with the common page builders.

Configure everything live in the WordPress Customizer — change colors, sizes, borders, radius, position, and per-device visibility and see the result update in real time.

🚀 Why Sticky Social Icons?

  • No-code setup — pick icons, paste URLs, publish. Live Customizer preview means no guessing.
  • Click-to-chat WhatsApp — paste a number, optionally add a pre-filled message, done.
  • Click-to-call & SMS — tel: and sms: links for mobile visitors.
  • Click-to-email — mailto: with optional subject and body pre-fill.
  • Truly responsive — show or hide on Desktop / Tablet / Mobile independently.
  • Hide on specific pages — front page, blog, single posts, single pages, archives, search, 404, WooCommerce shop / cart / checkout / single product.
  • Hide for user roles — keep icons away from logged-out guests, administrators, or any role you choose.
  • SEO and accessibility ready — every link ships with proper aria-label and rel="noopener noreferrer".
  • Lightweight — zero jQuery on the frontend, no bloated icon font, only the CSS your visitors actually need.
