Follow Me Social Media Wordpress Plugin

The Follow Me widget allows you to display links to all your social media profiles in one, easy-to-access button or window.

If you are like most Internet users, you have more than one social media profile on the web. Letting your friends and blog readers know what sites you use will allow you to connect in more places with new and current friends.

No coding is required. Simply download the Follow Me plugin below, insert the URLs of your profile pages, and start connecting.

2. Go to the Plug-ins page in the Wordpress Dashboard and click “Activate” on the Follow-Me plugin.

3. Go to “Settings > Follow Me Options ” in the Dashboard and add links to your social media profiles (make sure to use ‘http://’ before ‘www’ or the link will not work)

4. Select the appropriate size and design for the button: default(small), medium, large, or box.

5. Finally, go to “Design > Widgets” in the Dashboard and add the Follow me widget to the sidebar.
