Editing Social Media Buttons
-
I would like to change the link to our Facebook and Twitter pages. How do I do this? The bar on our blog (bwccblog.wordpress.com) does not appear to be a widget and I can not determine how to access.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
Follow these instructions to access the menu bar.1. Go to My Sites → Customize(Beside the Themes Menu on the Sidebar). This will open the Customizer.
2. On the sidebar of the Customizer, click on Menus.
3. Here you will find your Menu items as well as the Social Icons.Hope this helps :)

otpidusprime, thank you for your reply. In Menus, I only have the option to edit “Blog Home”, “About Us” and “CMCC Home”. There is no Social Icons option.
-
When you open the Menus from the sidebar do you see these “Blog Home”, “About Us” and “CMCC Home” directly or something like this:
Menu Locations >
Primary >
Social Media >?
-
Not directly. It’s:
Menu Locations>
Contact Us>
After I select Contact Us, I see the fields for Blog Home, About Us, and CMCC Home.
Contact Us is the selection for Primary Menu. Secondary Menu is not used.

Okay,
Okay then check the sidebar of the customizer for any customization option for the social icons.
—–OR—–
Go to https://wordpress.com/menus/, you will see 2 dropdown options at the top, on the left dropdown see if there’s any social menu category. -
I can already see that you have added the twitter and the facebook link for the social icons at the top. Can you tell me how you did that?
-
This blog was set-up by my predecessor so I do not know how it was done. Our Chamber of Commerce recently changed it’s name. I am trying to update the Facebook and Twitter links to our new pages (previous ones no longer exist). I just can not locate where to edit them. Thank for helping me.

Alright, did you find the solution?
No?
Then, check the sidebar of the customizer for any customization option for the social icons.

Go to https://wordpress.com/menus/, you will see 2 dropdown options at the top, on the left dropdown see if there’s any social menu category. -
Nothing. However, I did see we are using purchased theme “Bold News”. Is the social media bar an uneditable (by user) feature of this theme?

I figured this out, but it way too difficult! I clicked on the theme “Bold News” and found a set of menus. “Theme Options” was where I found the social buttons.

Oh awesome! Glad things worked out.
By the way, is this the site you were taking about: http://www.bwcc.org/? -

Okay, i was looking at this site: bwccblog.wordpress.com and saw that the theme was deprecated from the WordPress theme gallery therefore i was unable to try it and give you the exact steps to change the social links.
My bad! I am sorry…
I am happy to see everything worked out for you tho :)
