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
Conclusion
If you are looking for a social plugin, that is ready for Retina display or just simple and easy to style and with possibility to place with php anywhere then Captain Social is the one!.
