ahurwitz Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hi folks. With today's change from Twitter to X, when will the Twitter links and icons change to X? Do we need to change the bird icon to the X icon, or will it automatically switch? When? susieT, PaulineW, PhotographFrance and 1 other 4 Link to comment
Ziggy Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'm not aware of Squarespace being particularly quick in the past with a logo change for a social icon, I'm assuming for now it will remain as the bird, which may be a good thing... depending on your view of the rebrand from something recognisable to something generic.

Immortal_Explorer Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 As the tile says, Now that twitter has rebranded to X, when will we have social links available that reflect this change? Thanks PhotographFrance and Supdude 2 Link to comment

Have you asked Squarespace directly by raising a ticket through Squarespace Customer Care. Update October 2023: The “X” logo is now available when you add a social link beginning with “x.com”.

apresmoi Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 This is an upgrade my clients are starting to ask for. I could revert the social media icons set to my own custom images and add them to the footer but it would be great if squarespace simply updated their icon set. k8pq, PhotographFrance and codydennison 3 Link to comment
JonJonJon Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Is there any news on when can we expect the new branding of Twitter to X to filter to our sites? Specifically for the icons to be amended. And in future, would we need to manually update the links? I believe the new branding guidelines is now publicly available. Also hopefully Threads can be added soon. PhotographFrance 1 Link to comment
DesertRiver Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 We need this as soon as possible. It’s clear that the transition from Twitter to X was not a joke and is very real, so still having the old Twitter logo no longer makes sense. Can we have the development team make this change?

SarahEva Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 My Clients are asking for this change now too. Do you think we'll get a notification if/ when it happens? PhotographFrance 1 Link to comment
Ziggy Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 It is something you can change with a little code, but not ideal with a dynamic header.

Ziggy Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Here's some CSS code for the desktop header if anyone wants it, though the PNG will need updating for colour and the Twitter URL will need customizing: @media only screen and (min-width:640px) { .header-actions-action--social .icon--fill[href="https://twitter.com/ZygmuntSpray"] { svg { visibility:hidden; } background-image: url('https://static1.squarespace.com/static/608c1294de99e60b4063273d/t/64da0ec779e4346629a49414/1692012231955/TwitterX+-+%23F58800+-+200px.png') !important; background-size: 42% !important; background-repeat: no-repeat !important; background-position: center center !important; } } Please like and upvote if my comments were helpful to you.

MichaelLadden Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Why does this take so long for Squarespace to do???? So very frustrating as it is not difficult. Also, still waiting for Patreon logo and Threads. Are they asleep at the wheel? Link to comment
FilmReviewDaily Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) We're awaiting this update, as well as the addition of icons for Patreon and Threads. Edited August 31, 2023 by FilmReviewDaily Link to comment
creedon Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 SS has not shown an interest in keeping up with social icon display on their platform. Look at all the generic icons they apply to long established platforms like Discord and Patreon? You can always get your feature requests in to customer service but don't hold your breath. If you want it you'll need to code it. Find my contributions useful? Please like, upvote, mark my answer as the best ( solution ), and see my profile. Thanks for your support!

Tstyln Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 Well looks like the folks over at Squarespace is updating this, right now when I go to put in our link to X it shows the correct logo and no more twitter bird: The only thing is the logo does not show up in the header anymore, its blank, if you drag your mouse there you can actually click and it goes to our X page, but no one would know it's even there: Same for everyone else?

It could be an A/B test. It could be custom code. Find my contributions useful? Please like, upvote, mark my answer as the best ( solution ), and see my profile. Thanks for your support!

I have the same thing.... I can see the X in the editing panel, but on the site it is invisible! Link to comment
ericapbliss Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Coding just seems to be a bit cumbersome to do for so many clients website. Is SS on this yet? Clients are asking. Link to comment
Tstyln Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 You need to Update your URL to get the new logo...do not use "twitter.com" use "X.com" that is what did it for me, easy...dare I say "as it should be" 🙃 Link to comment
Tstyln Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 So everyone is good to go, this is no longer an issue for everyone? Michelle_Barra_ 1 Link to comment
adsausage Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Not sure on the x.com yet... but for the footer -- if anyone's still interested -- I used font awesome Link to comment
Michelle_Barra_ Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 x.com is working for me! Thank goodness. That was becoming a bit of a pain for clients insisting on using the X logo! Thanks Squarespace 🙂 Tstyln 1 Link to comment
