Website Builder (for WordPress) - How to Link Social Accounts
Social media is one of the quickest and most efficient ways to establish and maintain contact with your growing customer base. Linking a social account on your website can also help you increase business visibility and traffic. With your Bluehost Website Builder site, you can connect Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, or OpenTable accounts.
How-to connect social accounts to your website
First, you will need to access the Bluehost Website Builder.
Note: to speed up the process, log into the social accounts you want to connect before linking them to your Bluehost Website Builder website.
- Select the Settings tab from the side navigation menu to the left.
- Select the Social accounts option from the menu that appears.
- Enter the Username or URL (whichever is requested) for each profile you want to connect.
- Select the Apply button when you’re finished, and your social media accounts will be linked to your website.
How-to add social media icons
Once your social accounts have been linked, you can add clickable social icons to your website.
Open the page where you want to add social icons.
- Select the + (Add Section) icon where you want to add social icons, and the Sections panel will open.
- Select Social from the All categories list.
- Select a layout option for how your social section will be displayed. Here is a quick walkthrough down below:
- Use the panel on the right to make changes to the look of your social section—you can edit the alignment, background, section size, and other elements.
The icons are automatically linked to the information in your website settings. So, if you’ve already added your social accounts to your Settings, the social icons are connected. If you still need to link your social accounts to your website, open Settings, enter your social media account information, and click Apply.
Changes made to your pages should save automatically, but be sure to save any changes made to your social account settings when finished.
Important: Your edits and updates are reflected instantly in Website Builder, but don’t forget to hit Save or Publish to save your work.
