Social Media Links (old)

UPDATE: if you are using framework 1.2.7+, please follow this tutorial instead.

The social media links are managed by WordPress Links and Themify - Banners & Links widget.

To display the social links, first you have to add the links via the Links Manager:

  • Go to Links > Add New
  • Complete the following fields:
    • Link name (eg. Facebook)
    • Web address (eg. http://facebook.com)
    • Store it in a category (eg. "Social")
    • Link image address (you may upload the image via FTP or the media uploader)
    • Select the "Rating" (rating can be used to control the order of the links and it is optional)

Step 2:

  • Drop a "Themify - Banners & Links" widget to the social widget panel
  • Select the link category and orderby rating (optional)
  • Check "Show link image"
  • NOTE: the "Themify - Banners & Links" widget can be dropped to any widgetized area
