What It Does

Sticky Social Link adds a floating or sticky bar of social media icons to your WordPress site, keeping your profiles visible as visitors scroll. It provides a lightweight way to drive traffic to your social channels without modifying your theme files. Configuration focuses on selecting which networks to display and where the bar appears on screen.

Who It's For

This plugin suits small business owners, bloggers, and personal brand sites that want a simple, set-and-forget social icon bar without a full social sharing suite. It is best for sites that already have modest traffic and just need a persistent link to a handful of social profiles. Larger organizations or anyone needing share counts and analytics will find it too basic.

Who Should Skip It

If you need social sharing buttons (so visitors can share your content to their networks), UTM tracking, or detailed analytics, skip this plugin since it only links out to your own profiles. Sites with strict accessibility or performance budgets may also prefer a more feature-rich solution they can audit fully.

The Bottom Line

Sticky Social Link delivers exactly what its name promises with strong maintenance signals, but the 1,000 installs and four ratings mean you are betting on a niche tool with limited proof at scale. The zero public support threads are a real gap if anything goes wrong after install. It is a reasonable pick for simple needs, but anyone wanting depth should look at Powerkit first.

Pick Powerkit when you want floating social icons plus a broader toolkit of widgets and modules bundled into one companion plugin.

RaraTheme Companion 65/100

Choose RaraTheme Companion if your site runs a RaraTheme and you want social widgets that integrate cleanly with that theme family.

WP Social Widget 59/100

Opt for WP Social Widget when you would rather place social icons in sidebars and widget areas than in a sticky floating bar.
