Hi,

Does anyone know how this social media follow widget was set up? is there a plugin for that?

here is the view in sidebar:

here is another very similar example:

is it possible to set it up similarly inside a widget on a sidebar?

thank you

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

As long as it’s a WordPress plugin with widget functionality, then you can add it to your site’s sidebar. Though, I can’t tell which plugin or if it’s really a plugin through your provided sample. The codes are obscured and minified.

Can you provide more samples?

Thanks!

Hi Rad!

thank you so much for your response.

It looks to me like a code can be added inside a text box in a sidebar widget, not a plugin, but I can’t figure out the code.

Hi there,

You can add through Text Widget but you have to style them with CSS. However the example site you have provided using a plugin but can’t determine the plugin name. But you can search on Plugin Repository to find a suitable plugin that offers widget.

Cheers!

Hi Rupok,

I found this social media followers counter plugin:
http://socialsharingplugin.com/followers-counter-16-templates/

it works great, but it does not have snapchat, so I think snapchat would need to be added manually.

thank you, I hope this may help someone else in the future.

Thanks for sharing, Lily.

Cheers!
