    Hello,

    I have added a text widget in my footer’s 4th column. It links to the brand’s social media pages.

    Within the widget, I have entered the below code

    <center><a href="www.facebook.com/shoptwofold">Facebook</a> <br><a href="www.instagram.com/shoptwofold">Instagram</a><br><a href="www.pinterest.com/shoptwofold">Pinterest</a>

    For some reason within the website, the links has my web address added to the social media links.

    Ie: http://www.twofoldshop.com/www.facebook.com/shoptwofold

    Any idea why this is happening and how can I fix it?

    I’m not sure why it’s doing that, but you could use the “Virtue Social Links” widget in the footer.

    It will display icons instead of links, but it will at least take you to the right page.

    If you prefer the text, then I’m sure someone will have a solution soon.

    Thanks!

    Hey,
    You need to have http:// for every external link.

    meaning this:

    <a href="www.facebook.com/shoptwofold">Facebook</a>

    should be this:

    <a href="http://www.facebook.com/shoptwofold">Facebook</a>
