WP-FlyBox

By Cyle Conoly

Description

Social media floating fly out tabbed boxes. Can be located on either side of screen. FlyBoxes include Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Youtube, Feedburner, Flickr, DeviantArt, Vimeo, Instagram, Tumblr, and Contact Me.
Tab colors can be customized to match any theme.
Since this uses CSS, some themes will affect the layout of the tabs. If yours is displaying incorrectly PLEASE let me know which theme is causing poblems and I will fix it as soon as I can.
If you want a tab that’s not included then let me know and I’ll add it!

Reviews

A lot of options to do almost nothing

May 13, 2021
This plugin adds 250+ rows in wp_options table just to show some images with links... It's not the best way to do this, I guess 😉 It doesn't use Settings API and it doesn't provide proper escape'ing, so there might be some security issues as well.

Works great

An clean alternative to the typical FB widget Like box for sites like mine that have no sidebar. I only set it up with my Facebook page and voilà!
