The plugin adds social share icons to posts or pages of your WordPress site and allows visitors to share the content of a post or page on various social media sites. It automatically picks the featured image, post title, and meta description of the page for sharing it depending on the social media platform. You can choose which social icons to enable for the sticky or content area. It supports multiple icon placement positions. It includes quick options to place social icons before and after the page/post content. Also, you can place sticky icons on the right or left side of your WordPress site. Social sharing icons are a crucial aspect of WordPress website design, **SEO**, and functionality. Having social sharing icons allows users to easily share content from your website on their own social media profiles. The content can also include links back to your WordPress site. This can result in increased website traffic, interaction, and, ultimately, brand awareness. Furthermore, including social sharing icons on your website can help to improve your search engine optimization, visibility, and reach of your website, as well as your online presence and reputation. ### Social Icons Sticky Features * [Social Icons Sticky Features](https://scriptstown.com/wordpress-plugins/share-social-media/) * **Social Icons** to Page or Post * Place Icons Before or After Content * **Sticky** Social Share Icons * Popular Social Media Icons * Customize **Social Sharing** Icons * Multiple Icons Placements * **Icons Design** Settings ## Screenshots [⌊Social Icons Settings⌉⌊Social Icons Settings⌉[ Social Icons Settings [⌊Icons Design Settings⌉⌊Icons Design Settings⌉[ Icons Design Settings ## Installation **Social Icons Sticky [Installation Guide]** 1.
