in this video I walk you through how you can add social media icons to your WordPress menus this is a super easy way to get the social media icons up in your menu area so let’s dive in so much your WordPress dashboard from here we’re going to go to our plug in this area let’s click add new we’re looking for menu image this is the way we want so let’s go ahead and install now make sure you stick around so that you can also activate the plug-in once activated will take you over to the image area at the menu image area and we don’t need to make any changes here let’s just go ahead and create our first menu

trying to go to appearance menus and since we’re creating social media menu I’m going to create a new one so I’m going to click on create new simply going to call it social media and click create menu from here you want to add your custom link so it’s click on the custom link stabbed and you want to add to your house this is where you want to grab all of the social media link or your profile for your business I’ve just added a few or wpbeginner in a notepad so I’m going to add these here and then make sure you fill out the link text area as well and then once you fill those out click admin you keep doing that for all the ones that you want to add to your social media menu okay now I’ve added all of them and what we can do is now though in to expand each one by clicking on the little drop-down next to the menu item and we want to set an image this isn’t normally on here but with the plug in and you’ll see that so

how to set the image for this and you’ll want to upload icons that you found a ready for the ones that you want to use and you can take a look at our social media icons set article in the description below to find some royalty free icons so once you find the icons that you want to use go ahead and

click the image and then you’ll want to upload the files so go ahead and click upload find the icons that we downloaded and I’m going to go ahead and choose all of the icons right now he want to do it for set on heavier than you can do that as well but that’s what I’m going to just leave it for that one cuz I don’t have enough icons for both and then you want to choose the menu size this will be specific to your theme on which one looks best but for right now we’re going to use the 36 by 36 and then you can also choose the title position all this means is the navigation label you want to say where you wanted to go

or if you want to hide it all together so I’m going to do it for that one and I believe I uploaded 14 Pinterest so I’m going to set the image for Pinterest as well

like that and we’re going to hide it by default and I do the same for YouTube

selected hide it and see if we have 14 Instagram I think it was an older one but we’ll just do this one just for show

enemies as well you want to make sure that they’re hidden

and we’re going to put on primary and then let’s save menu
