Social links and sharing in one workflow
Fuse Social Icons Pro extends Fuse Social Icons, formerly known as Fuse Social Floating Sidebar, with more ways to connect visitors to your social profiles and encourage content sharing. The plugin brings a floating icon bar, share buttons, a widget, and a Gutenberg block together in one settings screen, giving site owners a central place to manage social links and presentation.
The Pro edition is designed for websites that need more control than the standard icon and sharing options provide. You can upload a custom image or icon for any link, use per-network colors, and choose additional shapes such as rounded and outline styles. Extra hover effects include lift, pulse, shake, flip, bounce, and swing, allowing the icon bar to better match the visual character of your site.
Expanded networks and visitor actions
Alongside the available social profile options, Pro adds networks including WhatsApp, Telegram, TikTok, Discord, Snapchat, Twitch, Spotify, Mastodon, and Bluesky, with more networks identified in the product information. An action-button reveal mode can keep the interface compact until visitors interact with it. The edition also includes a tap-to-chat WhatsApp or Telegram bubble for sites that want to make direct contact more accessible.
More flexible sharing controls
Fuse Social Icons Pro expands the sharing workflow beyond basic placement. Share buttons can use after-content and floating-sidebar locations, with more shapes and styles available. Live share counts provide visible sharing information, while display rules let you show or hide icons on the particular pages and posts you choose. These controls are useful for separating profile links from sharing tools or tailoring social elements to different types of content.

The underlying plugin also supports left or right floating placement, an option to hide the bar on mobile, a widget, a Gutenberg block, custom CSS, GDPR and Do-Not-Track-aware link handling, and settings import and export. Version 6.0 includes a drag-and-drop administration screen and a one-click migrator that detects earlier profile links, colors, and settings. A review screen appears before the imported settings are saved.
Practical uses
Use the Pro edition for a publication that wants sharing controls after articles, a business site that needs profile links and direct chat, or a community site with different social elements on selected pages. The floating bar keeps profile access visible, while the widget and block provide placement options within other site areas.
Installation
Install Fuse Social Icons Pro alongside the Fuse Social Icons workflow and activate it in WordPress. Configure the icon bar, networks, sharing locations, styles, display rules, and analytics from the plugin settings. If you are moving from an earlier version, use the one-click migration review to bring forward existing settings before saving. The Pro edition is described as a one-time purchase starting at $29.99 and includes lifetime updates.
