I see the ability to add titles or labels to social sharing icons was requested several times back around 2022. Not sure if this property was ever added but, I don’t see it anywhere. This is an ADA compliance requirement I need (for both USA & EU). The only other option allowed is to mark it as “decorative”, which I also don’t see. Any ideas on this? I migrated from Kadence and it had a lot of properties that could be set. I’m just needing to add titles or labels per social icon. Thanks.
Not sure if this is what your looking for, but if you use like an icon list, and set a link to the icon, some options appear like title and aria-label
Hi Ferry. Are you saying I can use the Social Sharing element as an icon list? I didn’t see any settings for changing it over for that. Or, when you were saying I could use like an icon list, you meant I could create an icon list to use?
There’s this element called “icon list” . It creates those icons i showed in the screenshot in the previous post.
You can remove the label and just show the icon.
When you add a link to the icon, 3 fields show up, Title, Aria label and rel (for noopener ect).
You can add border radius to make them round like your image.
I dont use the “list” as list, but have single “lists” for every social media to condition check if dynamic data url is not empty.
You probably need a “special” link to share and not just open their profile, that’s platform dependent.
Like facebook: (@ is to break the preview and show the link on here) where # takes the real url

If you want it to open an APP on a phone, there’s a lot more work to it. You can best use a dedicated app as you need to separate android vs iphone and create files to proof its intentional ect.
Thanks Ferry for your consideration on this. I’m only looking for Social Sharing that can allow labels, like what Kadence and the other builders have.
That’s a long standing problem with Bricks elements being uneditable “black boxes” instead of components, which are user editable. Such little changes could be done in minutes and not waiting for a fix in a new release or switch over to implementing it yourselve as icon list etc.
Thanks for this info Maexxx. My only issue with using the icon list is that I can’t make it a shareable link on each social icon URL. In other words, as a Facebook icon example, I don’t know how to make the URL dynamic so it will share any post’s URL to Facebook that my visitors will land on. I’ve googled for ideas but it appears to be programmatic and different for each social media platform.
So, I can’t use the icon list until I know how to make dynamic URL representing a share of the current URL being visited.
That’s rather easy for Facebook it is

and should be similar for all others.
