Social Links

Add your social profile URLs, choose which ones display, and configure share buttons.

Where to find it: Go to HighendHighend OptionsSocial Links.

The Social Links tab in Highend Options

Your social networks

Opens social links in a new browser tab instead of the same tab.

Social NetworksListDefault: Facebookhb_top_header_socials

The networks that show wherever Highend renders its social icon list: the header top bar widget, the side navigation, the footer, and the coming soon page. Each row is one network with its link.

  • Add a network: pick it from Add a social network, then paste your profile link into the new row. The list shows each network's icon, and you can type to search it. A row without a link is marked, because its icon would not go anywhere.
  • Change the order: drag a row by its handle, or click the handle and use the up and down arrow keys.
  • Remove a network: click the × at the end of its row. Its link is kept, so adding the network again brings it back.

For Email, enter an email address. It becomes a mailto: link.

Networks that have shut down (Delicious, StumbleUpon, Forrst and Skype) are no longer offered. If your site already shows one, it stays and is marked Discontinued so you can remove it. Google+ was removed in 4.5.7.

Icons not showing in the top bar?

The list only sets which networks show. The top bar shows them when Right Widget: Social Icons is on in Header » Top Header Settings.

Developers: the order is saved in hb_top_header_socials and each link in hb_<network>_link (for example hb_facebook_link), as in earlier versions.

Replaced automatically by Social Snap

If the Social Snap plugin is active, these toggles are replaced by a single notice pointing you to Social Snap's own settings. Highend hands off sharing to Social Snap entirely rather than running both at once.
