Social media icons can be inserted into any place on the page using portlets. Choose Static Text portlet from the “Add portlet..” drop-down menu. Add portlet title, e.g. Find Us On. In the TinyMCE click the HTML (Edit HTML Source) button and add the following code:


<ul class="social-buttons">

<li class="social-button-item"><a class="btn-facebook btn-social-icon btn" href="#"> <i class="fa-facebook fa"></i> </a></li>

<li class="social-button-item"><a class="btn-twitter btn-social-icon btn" href="#"> <i class="fa-twitter fa"></i> </a></li>

<li class="social-button-item"><a class="btn-linkedin btn-social-icon btn" href="#"> <i class="fa-linkedin fa"></i> </a></li>

<li class="social-button-item"><a class="btn-google-plus btn-social-icon btn" href="#"> <i class="fa-google-plus fa"></i> </a></li>

<li class="social-button-item"><a class="btn-pinterest btn-social-icon btn" href="#"> <i class="fa-pinterest fa"></i> </a></li>

<li class="social-button-item"><a class="btn-reddit btn-social-icon btn" href="#"> <i class="fa-reddit fa"></i> </a></li>

<li class="social-button-item"><a class="btn-dropbox btn-social-icon btn" href="#"> <i class="fa-dropbox fa"></i> </a></li>

</ul>

Add only those social media icons you need, in any order. Insert your preferred URLs. Save portlet. Your visitors can now follow you on social media platforms of their choice.
