How to Add Social Icons to Squarespace

To add social icons, you can use Social Block.

However, you will not be able to insert icons for many of the same accounts, for example, you cannot insert icons for 2 Instagram accounts, 2 Facebook accounts…

and in this way, I will share how to Add Social Icons for many Social Accounts.

1. Add Code Block

<ul class="t-social">
  <li>
  <a href="https://linkedin.com">
  <i class="fa fa-linkedin-square"></i>
  </a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="https://twitter.com">
  <i class="fa fa-twitter"></i>
  </a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="https://pinterest.com">
  <i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i>
  </a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="https://facebook.com">
  <i class="fa fa-facebook"></i>
  </a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="https://instagram.com">
  <i class="fa fa-instagram"></i>
  </a>
</li>
<li>
  <a href="https://skype.com">
  <i class="fa fa-skype"></i></a>
  </li>
<li>
  <a href="https://dribble.com">
  <i class="fa fa-dribble"></i>
  </a>
</li>
</ul>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">
<style>
  /* code block padding top bottom */
  .code-block {
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
}
  /* social icons code */
.t-social {
    display: block;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding-top: 5px;
    text-align: center;
  	padding-left: 0;
}
  .t-social li {
  display: inline-block;
    margin: 0;
    line-height: 100%!important;
  }
/* Icon color size */
  .t-social .fa {
    font-size: 26px;
    margin: 0 8px;
    color: #8d8d8d;
}
/* icon hover color */
  .t-social .fa:hover {color:#4285f4;}
</style>

You will have

2. Customize Icons

2.1. Change Icons & Links

In above code, you will see

<li>

<a href=”https://linkedin.com”>

<i class=”fa fa-linkedin-square”></i>

</a>

</li>

href=”…” is Social Link

<i class=”fa fa-linkedin-square”></i> is Icon Syntax.

2.2. Icon Color

You will see this code

  .t-social .fa {
    font-size: 26px;
    margin: 0 8px;
    color: #8d8d8d;
}
  .t-social .fa:hover {color:#4285f4;}

It is icon size (font-size: 26px), icon color (color: #8d8d8d) & icon hover color (color: #4285f4).
