I am trying to add a new link to a social media page to the nav bar on my site (we just created a LinkedIn page). I have taken over managing my organization’s website from the contractor who designed it, who I am no longer in touch with. So I have to figure out how to imitate what she did in adding our old twitter and facebook page links without the benefit of talking to her.
In the link settings for the link block used for our twitter and facebook pages, the text field just displays five bars, which is apparently some kind of code that creates the twitter and facebook icons? I can’t figure out where it came from. A screenshot showing the link settings is attached. Let me know if anyone can shed some light on this! Thanks
Your designer used a special font called Font awesome & brands.
So you’d duplicate e.g. your FB link and paste the linked in character in.
Here’s how to do that;
And here’s the Linked in Charcter- try selecting what’s between these braces [] even though you cannot see it, it’s there. Failing that, copy it from here-
Hi! I am revisiting this same issue after a couple years, trying to add an Instagram link. This explanation was so helpful before, but since then Webflow has apparently changed how it displays its sidebar settings menu. Now in the “link settings” area for a navlink, there is no space for the text. The only place I can find to change the text is when I go to the divblock settings, where I can see the little bars that reference the Font Awesome text. But I’m unable to paste a new link there. Maybe there is a separate problem, with the copying of the logo itself from Font Awesome? The display there is also different now, but you can still copy logos, which I did, but it wouldn’t paste into the divblock settings text area in a way that worked… so something is getting lost in translation. Thanks for your help with this!!
