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.

🛠 Source Code and Build Process

Nothing in this plugin is obfuscated or minified by hand. The uncompiled source (JavaScript/JSX and SCSS) ships inside the plugin in /src, together with package.json and webpack.config.js, and is also published at https://github.com/syed-sajib/gutefy-social-icons

The files in /build are generated from /src with @wordpress/scripts (webpack) by running npm install and then npm run build. See the “Source Code” section below for details.
