No social media icons or sharing in the Craft theme

[BeesBoards]

I'm using the Craft theme.

In it's settings, I've added my Facebook, IG, TikTok links - but then, nothing happens. There's no location to turn on social media icons to make them appear.

I also noticed on my Product pages, the "share" link doesn't have any social media sharing available.

How can I display my social media icons, and offer social media sharing on my products, without editing code?

@BeesBoards - did you check header/footer settings in customize? many times icons settings are available in it, can you please share your website link?

[BeesBoards]

Thanks - despite the Header being the location where they ask for my social media info, it's the footer where they have a check box to display them - and even then, they're tucked away at the bottom, blended into the theme - I definitely need to find a way to display them right up at the top.

And this doesn't introduce Social Share icons to my product page.

I've added the Share This app, which has given me what I need - surprised it's not built into the theme though.

I struggled to locate the option as well but it's there.

When you're in the theme settings > click on the Footer section > then look on the opposite end of the screen for the enable social media icons option. That will display the icons that you've entered a link for. This way you won't need to use a 3rd party app just to show those icons.

For some reason when I go into the Theme/Customize/ , I cannot see at the bottom left the "settings" that you have pointed to in your post.  Is there something I need to do to see "settings"?

I actually had this issue too, but then I found an option in the Footer Settings menu.  You need to make sure the box is checked to display social media icons.  You may need to widen your browser window to see the settings on the right.  Looks like this:

Hi @BeesBoards ,

If interested in without solution request you to test the code provided in the video.

No need to tell that how external apps impact store's speed it's always a better idea to avoid external apps.
