What the author says it does
Social icons, share buttons and a chat button, in one plugin
WPZOOM Connect (formerly Social Icons Widget & Block) adds social media icons linking to your profiles, share buttons for your content, and a floating Click to Chat button for WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger and Viber. Everything works as a Gutenberg block, a classic widget, a shortcode or an Elementor widget, so it fits block themes and classic themes alike.
- 2,400+ icons from WPZOOM Icons, Font Awesome, Academicons, Dashicons and Genericons — every network, plus general icons for phone, email, location and more. Browse them all in Settings → Icon library.
- Paste a link, get the icon. The icon, its brand color and label are picked from the URL.
- Inline SVG, no icon fonts. Pages load only the icons they show: no 130 KB of font CSS, no clash with your theme’s Font Awesome.
- Icons with or without links. Leave the link empty for a plain icon, or use the Icon by WPZOOM block for a single icon: a feature, a decoration, a phone number.
- Social Profiles block — your profiles as a tidy list with handles (@yourname) and follower counts. Pick your networks, paste each link, and the icon, name and handle come from it.
- Share buttons for Facebook, X, Threads, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Telegram, WhatsApp, Bluesky, Email, Copy Link and Print, placed with a block or added to your posts automatically.
