Floating Instagram
Display a floating Instagram logo on every page of your WordPress site with built-in click tracking.
Overview
A discreet and elegant Instagram widget to turn your visitors into followers.
Social networks have become an essential channel for building audience loyalty. Yet most WordPress sites offer no simple, visible way to redirect visitors to an Instagram profile. The result: engagement opportunities lost every day.
Floating Instagram solves this problem by displaying a floating Instagram logo, always visible, on every page of your site. A single click is enough to open your profile in a new tab. The plugin also includes a click tracking system that lets you measure the impact of this widget day by day.
Unlike cluttered social share bars or heavy plugins packed with unnecessary features, Floating Instagram focuses on one thing and does it well. Zero external dependencies, zero requests to third-party services, zero impact on your site’s performance. All in under 9 KB.

Frequently asked questions
Is the plugin compatible with my theme?
Yes, Floating Instagram works with all WordPress themes. The widget uses fixed CSS positioning, which is independent of your theme’s structure. It has been tested with GeneratePress, Astra, Divi, and other popular themes.
Will the plugin slow down my site?
No. Floating Instagram is designed to be ultra-lightweight. It does not add any external CSS or JavaScript files: everything is inlined. No additional HTTP requests are sent when the page loads.
How long is click data kept?
Click statistics are kept for 30 days. An automatic cleanup task runs daily to remove older data and keep your database lightweight.
How do I temporarily disable the widget?
Go to Settings → Floating Instagram and uncheck the option « Show the floating Instagram logo on all pages ». The widget will disappear immediately from your site without needing to deactivate the plugin.
