Default social links

The social links you choose are saved and used as the default selection when you next use this block.

Create custom social icons

The social links block doesn't let you customise the social icons used. However, if you want to create your own customised social links, rather than using the ones included in the social links blocks, you can create your own.

To create your own social links:

  1. Drag a multi-column block onto the EasyEditor canvas.
  2. Add your custom social icons into each column. To do this import them as images and insert them in the block.
  3. Add links to each image to direct users to your social platform.
