Captain Social – Cool And New Free Social Media Plugin

While I was doing a research for Retina related WordPress stuff, this brand new plugin was released. So be my quest and meet Captain Social. A plugin icons optimized for Retina display.

So let's rock

Installation

1. Install Captain Social via dashboard: Plugins -> Add New -> Search and then type Captain Social.

Setting up the plugin

When you are ready activate the plugin and go to Settings -> Captain Social

Add links to social profiles which you have and that's all with this page.

Now the funny part - there are two ways to insert those Retina Ready social icons into your WordPress site:
1. Add this php code to a page template/header/footer/sidebar/post php file (in menu appearance -> editor)

2. Or the easy way - place this shortcode for example at the end of post:

[ctsocial]

On the image below you can see examples: the top icons I added at the end of post with shortcode, and the second row of icons with php script in single.php
