Social Icons

A row of social network icons, each linking to a URL you set directly on the element.

Social Icons renders a row of icon links for whichever networks you fill in, useful for a custom social block inside page content, separate from the header or footer.

This element doesn't read Highend Options > Social Links

Each Social Icons element has its own set of URL fields; it does not pull from HighendHighend OptionsSocial Links. If you want the same icons as the header or footer, re-enter each URL here too. See Social Links for the sitewide version.

Add it

In WPBakery, click Add Element and pick Social Icons from the Highend Shortcodes tab. Or use the shortcode. See Shortcode.

Shortcode

[social_icons style="light" size="large" twitter="https://x.com/yoursite" facebook="https://facebook.com/yoursite" linkedin="https://linkedin.com/company/yoursite"]

The attribute names above must match exactly; older shortcodes copied from outdated examples sometimes use names like email, rss, custom-url, or googleplus, which this element doesn't recognize, so those icons silently don't appear.
