πŸ’—Social Links

The Facebook and Twitter handles can be updated from the Ghost settings.

Setting --> General --> Social accounts

Facebook and Twitter accounts

To update other accounts, you need to edit the theme code.

  1. Open the theme code in your favorite editor (like Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text)

  2. Open the social-links.hbs partial file

  3. Look for the social media handle you want to edit. E.g. Instagram, as shown below

    Editing instagram handle

  4. Edit the href="#" attribute for the tag. Replace # and insert your Instagram URL (e.g. https://www.instagram.com/cristiano/ ). The updated file will look something like the one below.

Updated Instagram URL

This theme has already provided icons for social media:

  1. Facebook

  2. Twitter

  3. Instagram

  4. LinkedIn

  5. YouTube

If you want to add any other social media link in footer, then you need to get the SVG code for that icon (preferably in 24x24 size)

Then you need to copy/paste the highlighted code and edit the title and href attribute as explained earlier.

Apart from that, you also need to add the path for the SVG code (#3 in below image).
