    hello,

    I’m trying to add a social links menu to the header in Apostrophe 2. I found a few mentions with people struggle in topics below, however, no clear solution on how to resolve this was given.

    I realise that it’s feature with the Jetpack plugin which I have installed. I have enabled social icons there, etc. I did follow the steps given here https://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/social-links-menu/ but no avail.
    I found the following article https://jetpack.com/support/social-menu/ but not sure where do I need to copy paste this information?

    Please can someone guide me? ??

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi there,

    I can see the social links menu on your site, on the right under your header image, containing a Facebook and Twitter icon. Were you able to figure it out?

    Create a new menu, or edit an existing one at Appearance ->Customize ->Menus (or Appearance ->Menus if you prefer to use the interface outside the Customizer), and add links to your social media accounts as custom links. Then make sure you assign this menu to the Social Links menu on the site.

    In other words, it works exactly the same as you’d add any menu in WordPress, with the only difference being that his menu contains only custom links to your different social media profiles, while the main menu on a site can contain any combination of pages, categories, links, etc.

    You can find the documentation on how menus work in WordPress here:

    I found the following article https://jetpack.com/support/social-menu/ but not sure where do I need to copy paste this information?

    That information is for site owners using a theme that doesn’t support the social links menu to add support to their theme. Apostrophe 2 already supports the social links menu, so the instructions on that page does not apply in this case.
