Would you please add in the Google+, Google+ Page (new in the last 30 days), Meetup, FourSquare, Skype, Facebook page (not just profile), Picasa, Plaxo, SlideShare, and Vimeo
Upps, this is quite a huge list. I’ll surely add few from these in upcoming versions.
New version has been just release (2.1.1). I added Pinterest profile.
Hi,
Could you please add Facebook Subscribe button to it too?
Thanks,
Anshul
Great plug-in. Very easy to use. I’d really like to see a Google+ added in the next release. It’s getting pretty popular
And what if… we do not want to use Gravatar ?
Is there workaround if we need avatar from localhost or any other place?
Thank you for this awesome plugin!! I do have one question: I want my facebook PAGE to show up, but instead it keeps pointing to my main profile. How can I change this?
Hi,
I’d love to use this plugin, but I can’t get the links to work. It won’t link to either my email (and I notice that your About Me widget doesn’t either) nor my Linked In profile. Can you help?
Thanks,
Skye
Great plugin.
Is there any way I can change the text colour? Had a quick look at your code but can’t find anything to do with font colour.
It’s okay, I’ve figured out how to format it using the html thanks.
The Linkdin icon keeps sending me to a page not found.
I have installed your plugin but for multisite author websites it doesn’t help a lot.
My suggestion would be to enable it for different authors.
Thank you
I actually had this working on a multi-user site until I updated. The old version landed in the ‘Tools’ section which my multi-site users had access to, now its in settings which they don’t. I took the site over from someone else so I don’t know if they had managed to make that move on their own, I came here looking to find out how to move it from Settings to Tools…..would appreciate any ideas!
I love this plugin. I would love to see Google+ and Bloglovin’ as 2 more sites to link to.
I like this plugin a lot, but I would love it if the social media icons (for twitter, RSS, etc) were larger. They are so tiny I feel like they get overlooked. Is there an option to make the icons bigger? If not, is that something you could add in the next release? Thanks!
How do I change the height between the lines of text?
Thanks for the elegant widget. I am using it in a wp footer and would _LOVE_ to add another author below the “About me 3000” bio. If I was a little more skilled I might try to hack an “About me 3000 — Second Author” widget to slide in right under yours.
Wonderful, but I need to highlight two people, not just one.
Hello there,
I can’t manage to use the widget in other languages, I can’t translate.
Thanks a lot
With the update to version 2.2.2 none of the social media links work. I have tried reentering the URLs, deleting and reinstalling the plugin, but for some reason when the social media link is created by your plugin it always puts my website url in the link as well which generates a page not found error. I really liked this plugin it is too bad that the update made it totally useless.
Make sure you put the URL of website of the social media platform in front of your username. http://facebook.com/ etc.
I just went through the same thing, made that change and it works fine now.
I just updated WordPress to 4.2.2 and it broke you About Me widget. Is there an update coming soon? Love to get it back on my site!
an instagram icon would also be great!
This is a great plugin, the widget is exactly what i needed to complete my blog. Thank you.
An Instagram and Vimeo icons would be extremely helpful. Thank you!
Pleas add a link for instagram.
Hi,
Just tried to update the social site URL’s, but the icons only show my website URL?
Also, the text did not update either, despite frequent clicks on the ‘Update Options’ button?
Regards, Morgan
link to instagram
Please add an instagram link!
Hi. Is there any way that I can add my mobile number? I would love it to appear in my About Me. Thank you
please make the photo automatically in round shape without we edited it first
Very nice plugin I love it ….Thanks for making nice plugin
very easy to use this widget.. good job guys
Is there a way to make your picture bigger on this plug in?
Thank you for this plugin, it’s exactly what I needed. Simple, stylish and works perfectly for me 🙂
thankyou
Great plugin did my page in seconds, thanks
I am impressed with this plugin. and too much satisfied with it. i just wanna to say thank you for this great plugin!
Nice plugin, so easy
I would like the ability to have my image or title clickable to my about page
Yeah so I added my about me widget the page. Spent about 10 mins creating an awesome about me. then I “updated” my changes because there’s no save. Of course that deleted everything I typed. I didn’t save it in a word doc. so I am a little pissed naturally, but where is the save button? How do I save the information. I see the widget on my site, but I can’t use it.
In a previous version of this plugin it was located in the ‘Tools’ section which was accessible to my users on a MU site. During an update the plugin was relocated to ‘Settings’ and now my users can’t access it anymore without giving them admin privileges and that isn’t happening.
Any chance you can give me some advice on how to move it back to the ‘Tools’ section? Greatly appreciated. I have over 200 users that change annually and I don’t want to have to edit their ‘About Me’ section myself LOL
very Nice And Easy Plugin in wordpress using

How to use in my project..after setting all the fields.

Good plugin. easy to use. Thank
Hello, I’ve been using your plugin for a very long time and it is great. However with recent changes to domain security from http to https, I have set up SSL, but my site is not showing the padlock because the image that is shown in your plugin is “http” and it causes an error for SSL. I’ve swapped the option to gravatar and it too is showing up as “http”.
Is that something that can be changed?
Thank you, Mike. It will be fixed in the next version. You can edit the code and change all references from HTTP to HTTPS for those images.
