    Don't you need to put your specific facebook link in the social media links? I don't use Facebook... but the other links under social media work in the same way.

    Well I just tried mine and it worked fine. Not published so you can't see it I'm afraid. One thing I did notice - when you go to your facebook page it's just the main URL for facebook. I had to click on my facebook name in the menu bar at the top to get the url to change to https:// www.facebook.com/rob.ashcroft.7771 rather than https:// www.facebook.com

    What did you put in the URL? YOU will go to your homepage with just the FB URL, but other people won't!

    And that is exactly what I get when I click the FB icon on your site! What's the problem?

    My page opens OK, but I'd prefer it to open in a new tab/window. I presume this is possible but i haven't worked out how yet. Any suggestions?

    Same with me, facebook like does not shows up. But twitter tweet works well. Is this just a bug? Like and tweet buttons are both turned on. headscratch.gif

    Any thoughts?

    Ok I figured out the problem. It was in my facebook privacy settings I had them setup so only friends of frienfs could see my info

    Another problem I noticed with the FB icon is that it takse you to FB - but on the same window. There's not setting for "open in another window\tab".

    One solution I saw on someone's site was to drop the FB icon, and just have a FB link on the menu. This does work, but having the FB icon itself could be nice.

    Hi,
    Easy:
    1. go to customize
    2. click right on "entire site"
    3. select your "social icons" block
    4. click on "options"
    5. select "display"
    6. at the bottom, select YES for "Open Links In New Tab"
    7. hit DONE

    And voilà! :)
