Hi there!
I'm trying to look for tutorial here in adding social media icons in footer as a widget or a hook. I think I can manage that but the problem is I can't find where to get the social media icons. Or if there are icons or need to install a plugin or a code of fontawesome. I don't know. Appreciate your help on this. Thank you.
you can download this plugin: https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/lightweight-social-icons/
Hi there!
It says "This plugin hasn’t been tested with the latest three major releases of WordPress. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress."
I think I'll just used an image for this.
I am using it and it is working fine. and the best part is the size is only 1kb
Hi there,
as Sanu ( thanks Sanu ) says the LSI plugin is the easiest method of adding the social icons.
Or you can use the Font Awesome plugin to add icons to your HTML:

Make sure to enable the SVG option - this will then only load the icons you use and NOT the entire FA Brands library.
Thanks to both of you. It's a pleasure to have you both.
Glad we could be of help
Btw, I want to know how I can add this hook element icons to my footer widget. I can't find the option how to properly do this. Thanks!

WP doesn't support Blocks in Widgets as yet, thats expected in the next major release.
The only rather hackish method is to follow this topic:
