  Hi londondweller001,

  I’m only seeing links to Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn on kemiakilapa.wordpress.com.

  The Twitter link is working.

  The Instagram and LinkedIn links are not currently working. It looks like you may need to check the URLs for your profiles.

  If you’re talking about social media links on a different site, please post a link to the site so we can check them for you.

  Hi,

  Your Twitter link shows fine. You need to remove the ‘@’ from Instagram username, just use ‘mskemiakilapa’.

  Your LinkedIn page should be: kemi-akilapa-b59b327b

  See: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kemi-akilapa-b59b327b/

  Hope that helps.

  – best,

  Hi there @londondweller001,

  It seems like your Twitter icon is up and running, but the Instagram and Linkedin icons sent me to pages that are either not public or don’t exist.

  Are the settings for your Linkedin and Instagram set to public? That might make a difference. Also, try checking to make sure you have the correct URL for the links in your WordPress.com settings.

  As for the Facebook and Pinterest links, I don’t have the proper access to locate the problem, but it might help to look over and follow the instructions on this support page about Adding Social Media Buttons to Your Sidebar or Footer.

  Let me know if you have other questions!

  Good luck,
  Travis

  Hi there,

  The links to my facebook, instagram, linkedin and pinterest

  The twitter link is working : https://twitter.com/@mskemiakilapa/

  For Instagram, make sure to remove the “@” from your user name in the URL.: https://www.instagram.com/@mskemiakilapa/
  This URL works: https://www.instagram.com/mskemiakilapa/

  Linked In there are some other numbers included in your URL, that are missing. This URL will work: linkedin.com/in/kemi-akilapa-b59b327b

  I don’t see a Pinterest link on your page.

  Hope this helps :)
