At Zenfolio, we’re happy to provide the opportunity to display links on your website that can connect visitors to the following social media services:
These social media and network buttons may be added in the contact information on the homepage, as well as in the header and footer across your website.
To show these buttons you first need to add your social network web addresses through the Settings of your account. Then, make sure that these social media icons are set to 'Show' in your homepage, header and/or footer in the Customize Website view.
Please note that the social media buttons simply link to your respective accounts. The buttons do not necessarily allow sharing. The buttons for Instagram and Pinterest do not allow posting to your visitors' accounts.
How to Provide the Links to Your Social Media Pages
From your account, navigate to add your social media accounts:
-
Hover the mouse pointer over your username in the top right corner. A menu will appear. In that menu, click on Account.
-
Click on Social Media and Networks.
-
Enter the web addresses for whichever social media accounts you want to link to (ex: https://www.facebook.com/zenfolio).
- Click Save.
You may choose to display the social media/networking buttons in the headers and footers of any of your Zenfolio pages, and have them displayed in the body of your Homepage and/or your Contact Page.
Please note that it is not possible to display the Linkedin links in the Header or Footer.
Displaying the Social Media Links on the Homepage
To set your social media and network icons to “show” on your homepage, go to Customize Website View.
In your account, hover your mouse pointer over Website then click on Customize Website.
The page will refresh with a new customization menu at the top, confirming that you are in the Customize Website View.
- In Customize Website View, go to Options.
- Go to the Page Elements tab.
- Mark the circle for Show next to any or all of the social media buttons you wish to show on your home page.
If the social media service is not selectable, it means that the link to the social media site has not been submitted via Settings. Please see the instructions at the top of this guide for how to do this. - Click Apply to exit the Options panel.
- Click Publish before exiting Customize Website View to push the changes live.
The social media buttons can also be displayed in the Header and Footer. Check out this guide on how to show the social media and network buttons in the Header or Footer.
