Instagram in social media

[R. whitehouse]

Is there a way I can add instagram at the bottom in the social media section? If so how? Thanks.

Rachel,

Thank you for your business first of all. Great question too. You can add in a icon link to Instagram. Here’s how to do that:

• Right click the image below and save it to your desktop.

  

  Sorry it’s tough to see…a white logo on a white background

• Next go the Media section in your WordPress control panel and select Add New. Upload the instagram.png file. Once the upload finishes, click the “Edit” link. Look in the right hand side of the edit screen and you’ll see a field for the file URL. Copy that URL.
• Now go to the Appearance section in your WordPress control panel and select Edit.
• From the list of files on your right, choose footer.php.
• Look down for this spot:

  
  </ul>	
  

  Right above that paste this:

• Change the http://instagram.com to the URL to your profile on Instagram and the http://yoursite.com/instagram.png to the URL you copied earlier for your instagram.png file that you uploaded.
• Save your changes.
• The last part is to go to the Theme Options page and select the Styling tab.
• Scroll down to the Custom CSS box and paste this:

  
#footer li.instagram a,
#footer li.instagram a:visited {
float: right;
width: 30px;
height: 30px;
padding: 0;
text-indent: 0;
background: none;
}


• Update your settings.

That should add in a Instagram logo and link for you. If you have any questions or trouble, let me know.

Thanks again,
Bill
