  Quick question –
  Is it impossible to link your company LinkedIn page to your social media buttons?

  I’ve been looking through the forums and I know in 2014 you couldn’t without making your own buttons. Is this still the method you have to use to link a company LinkedIn?

  Hi @kylieannepotter,

  I’m not sure if this quite answers your question, but just like with any other social media accounts, you can add your LinkedIn page/profile through the Customizer:

  Menus -> Social -> Add items -> Custom Links

  Then enter your the URL of the LinkedIn page you want to link to, along with the Link Text.

  If you view your social media buttons, you should see that the LinkedIn icon will be automatically generated.

  Hi there,

  The sharing buttons share to the account of whoever is viewing your site and clicking the button. You can’t link the sharing buttons buttons to a specific account.

  If you’re trying to connect to a LinkedIn page in the Publicize feature under My Site ->Sharing, that is still not possible, but we are working on it.
