How to set the site's links#
This guide shows you how to change a site's social links and its sharing settings.
You need both packages installed, and permission to edit the site root.
Open the settings#
Log in, go to the site root, and select Edit in the toolbar.
In the sidebar, open the Social Media section.
The section holds three fields: Share social data, Facebook App ID, and Profiles.
Add a link#
Select Add Link, beside the Profiles label.
In Network, pick the network.
In Title, name the link, or leave it empty to use the network's name. The title shows when the pointer rests on the icon, and is what a screen reader announces.
In Target, type the profile's address, and press Enter. To link to a page of the site instead, browse to it.
Select Save in the dialog.
Network and Target are required. The table shows each link by its network's icon and its title.
Reorder the links#
Drag a row by its handle. The first row is the first icon.
Change a link#
Select Edit on its row, change the fields, and select Save in the dialog.
Remove a link#
Select Delete on its row, and confirm with Delete.
Set the sharing settings#
- Share social data
Switch it off to leave out the
fb:app_id,og:article:publisher, andtwitter:sitetags. The other head tags are not affected.- Facebook App ID
The value of the
fb:app_idtag.
The usernames in twitter:site and og:article:publisher come from the X and Facebook links.
They need a plain profile address, as Computed usernames lists.
Save#
Select Save in the toolbar.
Nothing is stored until you do. While the form is open, the footer already shows your changes; Cancel discards them.
