How do I select the social media icons I want to include and connect them to my accounts

newrockstars — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 18:12:41 GMT

Hi there,

Can anyone help me figure out how to connect my social media profiles to the footer of this landing page layout? I also only want to include specific profiles. How do I add or de-select the ones that have pre-populated this template?

When I try to edit the page, it only allows me to edit the Social Media header (Get Connected) and not the actual profiles. I should warn that I don't have any CSS or HTML skills to pull this off so hopefully none are required for something that I have always managed to pull off with one-click.

Thanks in advance for the great help!

Hey @newrockstars,

From looking at the code, it looks like this is a custom module in the template. You would most likely have to go into your Design Manager and then check the footer area for a module that would have a UL with a class of social-links like below:

<ul class="social-links">
    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-facebook" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>
    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-twitter" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>
    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-google-plus" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>
    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-pinterest" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>
    <li><a href=""><i class="fa fa-linkedin" aria-hidden="true"></i></a></li>
</ul>

You would then add your social media URLs inbetween the "" on the href portion.

Let me know if this helps point you in the right direction or if you have any further additional questions.

Of course... I currently have almost 800 dynamic pages. Now I'm building out the structure of where each column/specifications goes.
