  Try following these instructions for creating a social links menu:

  Create a Social Links Menu

  When you’ve created the menu, assign it to the “Social Links” menu location in Cubic.

  Howdy @montyngan36!

  In order to add social media icons to the footer, you’ll have to create a new custom menu. To do this go to Appearance -> Menus.

  Here is the support doc for adding a social icon menu.

  I hope this helps! Have a great day!

  @montyngan36,

  Do they not look like that after following the instructions in the support doc?

  montyngan36 – is this this site you need help with? http://lingual.me/monty/ That’s a self-hosted site, with the WordPress software running on your own hosting.

  These forums are for folks hosted here on WordPress.com.

  Could you please post over in the Cubic forum at WordPress.org and when you do, please provide a screenshot of your Menus setup page in WP Admin?

  Here’s a guide on how to make a screenshot:

  You can upload the screenshot – in a graphic format like JPG, PNG, or PDF – in your Media Library, and provide a link so I can see it, or upload it with a service like Imgur or Snaggy.
