Wondering how to add social media icons to Wix?
In this Wix social media feed tutorial, you'll learn how to add Wix social media links and
Wix social media icons to make the most out of the Wix social media integration for social
media marketing.
So let's get right into this Wix tutorial on adding social links Wix elements to your
Wix website.
First off, if you don't have a Wix account yet, just click on the link in the description
box below to sign up for free.
Once you've logged in to your Wix account, hover your mouse over the website you wish
to add social media icons to Wix on, and click on the pencil icon to access its Wix editor.
In your Wix editor, click on the pages dropdown menu on the top, left-hand side, and click
on the page in which you'll be adding a Wix social media feed to.
If you want to add social media icons to Wix on a new page rather than on an existing page
on your Wix website, make sure to watch my video on 'How To Make Separate Pages In Your
Wix Website'.
I'll leave the link to it in the description box below.
Once on the page you wish to add a Wix social media feed on, click on 'add' from the left-hand
side panel, and then on 'social'.
Choose one of Wix's social bars to connect site visitors to all your social channels,
and then click on it to add it to your Wix website.
From the Wix social media feed's individual toolbar, click on 'set social links'.
From here, you can hover your mouse over any social media icon, and then over the plus
icon to view that icon in a larger size, or click on the trash can on the right-hand side
of it to delete it.
You can also click on any social media icon and then follow the prompts that appear on
the right-hand side.
Right above where it says 'image info', you can click on 'replace icon' to select another
social media icon to add to your Wix social media feed.
You can select that social media icon from Media From Wix, Shutterstock, Unsplash, from
your site files, your boards or from the trash.
You can even click on 'upload media' on the top, left-hand side to locate social media
icons to add to Wix from your computer, Wix account, Google Drive, Facebook, Instagram,
Dropbox, Google Photos, Flickr, DeviantArt, Dribble or Link (URL).
Once you've located a social media icon to replace the current icon on your Wix social
media feed, click on it, and then on 'choose image' on the bottom, right-hand side.
From the image info section on the right-hand side of the set social links popup, you can
add a title (alt text) to give your image a unique title, and to set what social page
this icon links to.
When you click on the link icon, you can link your social media icon to nothing, to a page,
web address, anchor, top or bottom of the page, document, email, phone number or lightbox.
I'll connect this specific social media icon to a web address, paste the web address in
the space provided, select how it opens (either in a new window or in the current window,
I'll select in a new window), and then click on done on the bottom, right-hand side.
Repeat the same process to set all the titles and URLs for all of the social media icons
you add to your Wix social media feed.
If you wish to add a new social media icon to your Wix social media feed, click on the
orange 'add icons' button up top, and just as we went over before when going over how
to replace an icon, select another social media icon to add to your Wix social media
feed.
You can select that social media icon from Media From Wix, Shutterstock, Unsplash, from
your site files, your boards or from the trash.
You can even click on 'upload media' on the top, left-hand side to locate social media
icons to add to Wix from your computer, Wix account, Google Drive, Facebook, Instagram,
Dropbox, Google Photos, Flickr, DeviantArt, Dribble or Link (URL).
Once you've located a social media icon to add to your Wix social media feed, click on
it, and then on 'add to gallery' on the bottom, right-hand side.
Remember to set that specific social media icon's title and link on the right-hand side
of the set social links popup.
Still on the set social links popup, you can click on the gear icon up top to choose your
settings.
This includes how to add new images (at the start of the gallery, at the end of the gallery
or after selected image), and how to add them (with current titles or without titles).
You can also manually reorder the social media icons on your Wix social media feed by clicking
on a specific icon, and dragging it to the location of your choice.
Once you're done setting the social links of your Wix social media feed, click on 'done'
on the bottom, right-hand side.
From your Wix social bar's individual toolbar, you can also click on 'layout' to increase
or decrease the social media icon size in pixels, to increase or decrease the spacing
in pixels, and to select how the Wix social media feed's social bar looks (horizontal
or vertical).
Under 'animation' from the Wix social media feed's social bar, you can choose an animation
to add to your social bar, including bounce in, glide in, fade in, float in, expand in,
spin in, fly in, turn in, arc in, puff in, fold in, flip in, reveal or slide in, and
then click on 'customize' at the bottom to select that animation's settings, including
its direction, power, duration, delay, and whether you should only animate it the first
time or not.
Under 'help' from the Wix social media feed's social bar, you can learn more about Wix social
bars, including how to set social links, how to add new social links and how to change
the layout of your social bar, all of which we covered in this video.
Once you're done adding social media icons to Wix on your Wix social media feed, remember
to click on 'save' and then on 'publish' on the top, right-hand side to make your changes
active.
