We’ve updated our Boise State WordPress theme to use the X social media icon, replacing the familiar Twitter icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social media icons and links appear in two places in our theme:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Alongside or at the bottom of posts (depending on what device you’re using to view the post).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. In the footer of each site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Primary Boise State social feeds appear in the global footer <\/a>near the very bottom of each web page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Administrators may configure their own program or area social media links by accessing Settings<\/strong> > Site Settings<\/strong> in the WordPress Dashboard and filling in the appropriate information where indicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Read “Linking to Social Media” for more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
