You can now add linked social media icons to your department's website footer.
Overview
You can add useful information to the footer, or bottom of the page, on your department website in WordPress. This footer appears below all of your department's pages and makes it easy for visitors to get in touch. Some useful information that can go in a footer:
- Department location and hours of operation
- Department phone numbers and email addresses
- Department social media accounts, linked as icons
This guide explains how to update the information that goes in your website footer.
Adding a website footer
- In the left menu, click Department Site Settings.
- Fill in the Title field, and click Add Row to begin adding contact information. To add more cards, you can click Add Row up to two more times. Each card will display as its own column in the footer, up to a maximum of three columns.
- (Optional) You can use the Social Media Links section to add social media icons linked to your department's social media accounts. To add an account, click Add Row. Then, select the social media source and provide the link to your account. Repeat this process until all of the department's social media accounts are added.
- Once you're done, click Update.
Now you can view your website to make sure the updated footer appears on all department pages. If the updated footer doesn't show up in your particular browser, we suggest waiting 24 hours and then checking again.
Removing Contact Detail blocks
If you previously added a Contact Detail component to the bottom of your website pages, be sure to remove the Contact Detail component from those pages. This ensures that the contact information doesn't appear duplicated to website visitors.
