Social theme settings
The Social theme settings hold the links to your social profiles that Local shows as icons, plus two custom icons with your own links.
Applies to: Local 4.2.1 and later. Added in: Local 1.0.0. Last checked: 2026-10-13 against Local 4.2.1.
The Social settings hold the links to your social profiles. Local turns each filled link into an icon, in the same order everywhere, and you choose in each area whether the icons show.
Where to find it: Theme settings → Social
Social links
- Paste the full address of each profile you have, for example
https://instagram.com/yourstorein Instagram. Leave the others empty: an empty field shows no icon. - Email takes a
mailto:link (mailto:hello@yourstore.com) and Phone atel:link (tel:+15551234567). - X (Twitter) shows the X logo. See Replace the Twitter icon with the X logo.
- Every icon opens its link in a new browser tab.
Where the icons appear
Each area has its own Show social icons checkbox:
- Announcement bar (desktop only), see Announcement bar section.
- The mobile navigation drawer: Header → Mobile navigation → Show social icons, see Header section.
- The footer: the Text & social icons block of the Footer section, see Footer group.
- The password page footer.
Custom social icons
Local has two Custom link groups for networks that are not in the list.
- Icon is your own icon image: a 72 x 72 px PNG with a transparent background.
- Link is the profile address. It appears in the editor after you upload the icon.
How do I add a social network that is not in the list?
Use one of the two Custom link groups. Upload the network's icon as a 72 x 72 px transparent PNG in Icon, then paste your profile address in Link. The icon shows after the built-in icons. For a third network or more, you need custom code, see Custom work and code changes.
