Hi people i have posted this before but the topic is now closed before I could ask further questions

Now. I have the publisher 2 theme, and Want to know how to put my social media
Icons at the top too

Ive looked at this box at the bottom of the menu section but it just puts up 3 word press icons and a link button which I’m totally unsure of why.

Hope the screen caps work – they arent showing for me unfortunately

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,

You need to add the Social menu that you mentioned in your second screenshot. Here are the step-by-step instructions on how to set it up:

Can you try this?

1. Go to My Site > Design > Customize > Menus

2. Create a new menu. Call it Social.

3. Add a link. Make sure you pick custom link, and do not a page. For the address, put in your twitter URL. For the link text, just write Twitter or “@yourusername on Twitter” or whatever.

4. Add another link, a custom link, and put in your Facebook url. Call it Facebook.

5. Continue on until you’ve added all of the links you want.

5. Scroll down and under location, pick Social.

6. Save and publish your changes.

Can you give that a try?

Thank you Once again everyone especially @supernova

That’s your Site Logo, and while you could remove the logo in the Customizer, I don’t recommend it since the logo is also used elsewhere.

Instead, via Custom CSS https://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/custom-css/ you could add this:
```
.site-logo-link {
    display: none;
}
```

Yes, Custom CSS does require a paid Premium plan.

You can see all the supported icons here:

Create a Social Links Menu

For the email one, you’ll add your custom link as in this example:

mailto: (email visible only to moderators and staff)

It looks like you were able to add the correct email link. Were you able to sort this out in the browser you were using?
