What it does
Many sites link to their social profiles, but plain icons say nothing about the audience behind them. This plugin puts follower counts from networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest and GitHub right on your pages. Visitors see your reach at a glance, and you avoid hand-editing numbers whenever your following changes, because the counts are pulled from the networks and kept current.
The counters are built and placed inside the Visual Composer interface, with drag-and-drop placement and a live preview. You can adjust fonts, colors and layouts so the counters match your brand, and they respond to desktops, tablets and phones. The plugin is built with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and it also includes a widget, which makes it a practical fit for sites already designed with Visual Composer.
