Simple Floating Menu

Simple Floating Menu is a free WordPress plugin that puts a floating sticky menu of icon buttons on your site. Each button gets an icon, a link and a tooltip, and the whole bar can sit anywhere on the screen. It ships 5 icon packs with more than 12,000 icons between them, and you can add as many buttons as you like. Place the bar in any of 8 positions, run it down the side of the screen or across it, pick from 9 button shapes, and set the tooltip type from over 1,400 Google fonts. Everything is set from one screen with a live preview beside it, so you can see the bar change as you work. Want to test the dashboard settings without installing on your website?
