Inbound Site Template: Sidebar Author Widget Social Icons
5 replies · Started by Ermal on January 1, 2023
Hi, i am using the Inbound template from site library. It's awesome and all but one thing i can't figure out for the life of me. There is a Linkedin and Twitter button on there, but i want to add instagram, facebook etc. I have 8 authors on the site, and i want to show their social medias in the author box. How can this be done?
Link to the site included in the private information.
Thank you!
Hi Ermal,
Those Social Icon Button Blocks can be found in Appearance > Elements > "Right Sidebar".
The Social media URL data per author can be added through plugins like Yoast. Reference: https://yoast.com/help/how-to-add-social-profiles-for-a-person/
Then, you can grab the Yoast author meta as such: https://youtu.be/1E7zFl678kg?t=485
I already have a plugin for setting the social links for authors, but i can't get it to connect to the widget. The icons still link to "#".
How can i connect them?
Okay, i added the twitter and facebook links to the user profile and it works well, but theres only 2 fields in the 'contact info' part. How can i add Linkedin, Instagram etc?
Sorted it out
I see. Glad you resolved it.
