Hey everyone.
Welcome to Yes To Tech, where we empower non-techie online entrepreneurs like you to maximize
your online presence.
First of all, if you don’t have a Wix account yet, click the link in the description box
below to create your account right away.
To add social media icons in Wix using the social bar, in your Wix Editor, go to the
the left-hand side panel, click on 'add', and then on ‘social’.
You’ll notice that a number of options populate.
Under ‘social bar’, click on the appearance that you prefer.
Now the first thing you need to do is set your own social links.
You can do so by clicking on the ‘set social links’ button from the social bar’s individual
toolbar.
You’ll notice that 6 social media icons appear: Facebook, Twitter, Google+, YouTube,
Pinterest, and Instagram.
Click on the one you wish to customize, and on the right-hand side, you can replace the
icon to one with a different appearance by clicking on replace icon - you’ll see here
on the left all of the different platforms that have unique icons
already created, you can change the title alt text, and you can change the social page
that this icon links to.
This is where you’d insert your Facebook page link, for instance.
You can also drag-and-drop any of the icons to re-order them, click on the little trash
can that appears when you place your cursor on top of the icon to delete it, and you can
click on the orange ‘+ add icon’ button to add even more social icons to your social
bar.
Once you’re done making edits, click on ‘done’ on the bottom, right-hand side.
Okay so moving on.
Still from the social bar’s individual toolbar, you can click on layouts to increase or decrease
the icon size, to increase or decrease the spacing between icons, and to change the social
bar look from horizontal to vertical.
And lastly under animation, you can choose and customize your social bar’s animation
if you so wish.
And that’s it.
Now you know how to add social media icons in Wix using the social bar.
Again, if you don’t have a Wix account yet, just click the link in the description box
below to create your account right away.
I now want to hear from you.
