We’ll add a few custom links to our different social media profiles using the Custom Links section. With the plugin being active, you should now see a Menu image button that you can click to upload an image of your choice if you don’t have an icon you want to use we have a list of free icon sets you can use here:
Now that you have an uploaded image you can select the image size, the plugin generates image sizes for you to select from. You can decide if you want the title visible with your icon or if you want to completely hide the text and only have the icon visible. Now when you visit your site, you can see the icons in your menu area instead of text.
