How to use the social follow widget

Novashare comes with a follow widget so that users can easily connect with you on your favorite social media networks. Check out the widget in action on our demo.

Important: As of version 1.3.3, we now have a social follow buttons block. If you’re using the Block Editor, we recommend using the block instead of a legacy widget, as it’s easier to customize and place anywhere on your site.

The follow widget includes the following 58 buttons and networks.
