I’m having an issue with the footer social media button links populating to the proper pages. The link I’ve inserted have the “https//” as I’ve seen within the forums but I still haven’t been able to get a fix. Would you all be able to take a look at this and assist me?
The issue is the code not with the URL you are using. Check the href value is true not the link you are using. To fix it ask the theme support or a developer.
