How do I add social media icons to my Joomla site?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:01 am

Adding social media icons to your Joomla site is easy. Log into your Joomla site, click on the Site Information panel, and scroll down to the Media section. There, you’ll find a list of icons you can use to add social media buttons to your pages. Just click on the icon you want to use, and Joomla will add the corresponding button to your site.

PRO TIP: Adding social media icons to your Joomla site can be done by installing a plugin or module. However, you should be aware that there are risks involved in doing this. First, you could inadvertently introduce security vulnerabilities to your site. Second, the plugin or module you install could conflict with other plugins or modules, causing instability or even breaking your site. Finally, the social media icons you add could slow down your site’s loading time. Proceed with caution and only add social media icons to your Joomla site if you are confident in what you are doing.

You can also add icons to individual articles or posts, or to entire sections of your site. Finally, be sure to add a link to your social media profiles in the articles’ comments, so your visitors can connect with you online.
