Description
Advanced social icons help you quickly add icons with links to your profiles on different social media platforms. The plugin uses icons from Font Awesome, which gives you the possibility to display various popular social icons via widgets. You can use custom icons to add links to anything you want.
No configuration is necessary, other than having links to your social media profiles in the built-in WordPress menus. Add links to any of these social sites under Appearance > Menus, then enable the plugin.

Option: Icon Sizes
To vary icon sizes, add this to your theme’s functions.php file: (Default is 2x)
add_filter( 'asi_social_icons_size', function(){return "normal"; } );
add_filter( 'asi_social_icons_size', function(){return "large"; } );
add_filter( 'asi_social_icons_size', function(){return "2x"; } );
add_filter( 'asi_social_icons_size', function(){return "3x"; } );
add_filter( 'asi_social_icons_size', function(){return "4x"; } );
Option: Add More Icons
Add icons from FontAwesome for other URLs. For example, an RSS feed:
add_filter( 'asi_networks_social_icons', 'asi_networks_social_icons');
function asi_networks_social_icons( $networks ) {
$extra_icons = array (
'/feed' => array( // Enable this icon for any URL containing this text
'name' => 'RSS', // Default menu item label
'class' => 'rss', // Custom class
'icon' => 'icon-rss', // FontAwesome class
'icon-sign' => 'icon-rss-sign' // May not be available. Check FontAwesome.
),

$extra_icons = array_merge( $networks, $extra_icons );
return $extra_icons;
