Account Settings: Edit Your Social Network Icons and Links

  Edit your publisher social network icons and links

Establish your social media presence

By adding your main social network and blog icons to your paper, your customers and community can learn more about who you are and the content you're sharing across multiple social media sites, your blog and your company website.

If you have a Pro subscription, your default social network icons presented can be edited and additional links to an outside site can be added by visiting the Publisher Profile tab of your Account Settings.  

Default Social Network icons

If you have signed on to Twitter or Facebook when creating your publisher account, the corresponding social network icons will be added by default.

However, with a Pro subscription, you can hide and/or show additional social media icons and links, regardless of what social network you use to sign on to your account.

For example, when you created your publisher account, if you sign in with Facebook, you are using an individual account to sign in and by default, the Facebook link shown on your paper will point to your individual Facebook account.  

If you have a Pro subscription, and you prefer to show your Facebook business page rather than your Facebook individual profile, you can deselect your individual profile icon from the settings and add your business page URL instead.  Read on for the how to...

2.  Click your user name to access the dropdown menu, then click Account Settings.

Adding an image to a link

When adding links to your profile on Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin, G+, Pinterest, Tumblr, Youtube, Instagram, or flckr the default icon for that service will be added automatically.

If you link to a website (your company page or blog for example) or another social media service that does not automatically show a default image, you can add your own image.  

Click on Upload image next to the link to add an image. Recommended size for images showing in editor's box is 50 by 50 pixels.

• De-selecting an account that is used to sign on hides the icon but does not disable sign on using that account.
• There is a maximum of five links or icons shown at any time on a publisher account.
• Changes made to your publisher settings applies to all papers you publish under that account, even if they're not Pro papers.
• If you downgrade all Pro subscriptions under a publisher account, the icons shown on all papers under that account will return to the defaults.  
• Recommended size for uploaded images is 50 x 50 pixel
