Managing the Social Networks

Including social networks on your site is a nice thing because your viewers can click on them and follow you or your business through your selected social networks.

To add the social networks one by one please follow the instructions below.

On the admin sidebar navigate through Laborator > Theme Options
Click on Social Networks

Here is the explanation for each option on that area.

First you need to move (drag and drop) from Hidden to Visible your prefered social networks that you want to add on your site.

Link Target

When user clicks on any of your social networks buttons choose if you want to open that site on the actual tab or open another tab on the browser.

So options that you can choose are Same Window or New Window.

Add the links of your social networks there:

For example some of the areas that we filled for this tutorial are:

Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/laboratorcreative
Twiter — https://twitter.com/thelaborator
Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/laboratorcreative/
Youtube — https://www.youtube.com/user/LaboratorCreative

Email

If you want, you can add the icon of your email address on that social networks area too.

Contact mail — Put your email address there (E.g. [email protected])

Default subject — This will be the default subject when someone emails you by clicking on that button. User can change the subject when writing the email.

Custom Link

If you want to add another link that you can’t find on the social networks area, you can do it too.

Just make sure that you fill those options:

Link Title — Add the title of the site that you want to add (E.g. My other site)

Link URL — Add the URL of the site (E.g. http://www.mywebsite.com)

Icon (Optional) —If you want to set custom icon, enter icon alias from Font Awesome icon collection. (E.g. bookmark)

To see the changes on your site please don’t forget to add Custom Link from Hidden to Visible area.

Finally, to show your social networks anywhere on your site (mainly footer) you can add this simple shortcode [lab_social_networks] or choose one of the followings.
