Social Link Block

Last Updated: 

The Social Link block is used within a Social Links block to add individual social media icons. You cannot add a Social Link block directly; it must be added inside a Social Links block.

  1. Add a Social Links block first
  2. Inside the Social Links block, click the “+” button
  3. Select a social platform (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.)
  4. Enter the URL for your social profile

Available Platforms

Common social platforms include:

  • Facebook
  • Twitter/X
  • Instagram
  • LinkedIn
  • YouTube
  • Pinterest
  • And many more
  • URL: Enter your social profile URL
  • Open in New Tab: Controlled by parent Social Links block settings
  • Show Label: Controlled by parent Social Links block settings

Styling

Social link styling is controlled by the parent Social Links block:

  • Icon colors
  • Icon background colors
  • Icon size
  • Link behavior

Best Practices

  1. Relevant Platforms: Only include social platforms you actively use
  2. Correct URLs: Ensure social profile URLs are correct
  3. Test Links: Always test that social links work correctly
