I need assistance with making edits to the social icons in the footer.

I'm having trouble locating the social links icons module under the name of the social link. Can someone please guide me on how to manage the social icons? I need to replace the Twitter icon with Pinterest. Thank you!

@Yifei looking at the code from the live site, it looks like the social icons are configured as a menu.

how this is structured and where the icons come from will depend on how the developer coded it.

Can you check your advanced navigation settings in hubspot to see if you can find a social menu?

If so, you should be able to remove the twitter logo/link, but adding the pinterest one would still be tricky without knowing where the social icon is coming from.

If you can share a snapshot of the menu configuration, it might have more clues 🙂

@Yifei is there a HubDB table with your social channels in it tht populates the footer? It looks like the page template is using a HubDB, so I'd check there. 

Also, what's the theme you're using? It could be a theme module you can change, or theme settings. You might have to as the theme builder for help.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, the social icon assets are not featured in the HubDB table, and we still don't know their location.

I went into the theme editor, and unfortunately, there are no social media icons included in the theme settings.

Thanks,

Yifei

Hello @BérangèreL 

Thanks for your reply. I followed your post and checked the instructions in the 'Use Social Icon' article: https://knowledge.hubspot.com/design-manager/use-custom-social-icons-on-hubspot-pages-or-templates. It seems that in my case, the social icons in the footer are not on the HubSpot server. I need to identify their location and remove the 'Twitter' icon from it. I hope I've explained my inquiry clearly.

Thank you!
