What it does
Most sites need a row of social icons somewhere, in a header, footer, sidebar or contact section. Building them by hand in Elementor often means fiddling with images, links and spacing for every icon. This addon gives you a dedicated way to place clickable social icons on a page without writing code. You drag it into your layout, pick a style and adjust it from the Elementor editor.
The plugin includes more than 43 preset designs, so you can start from a look that already fits your site and then change icons and colors to suit your brand guidelines. The icons are responsive and retina ready, which keeps them sharp on phones and high-resolution screens. It works with WordPress themes built on Elementor, ships with a .pot file for translation, and comes with documentation to help you set it up.
Best for
- Bloggers who want visible links to their social profiles
- Business sites built with Elementor
- Freelancers and agencies building client sites in Elementor
