How do I change the social links on my www.ads-software.com profile?

    I feel pretty dumb for asking this, but…

    When I view my www.ads-software.com profile, there are icon links to “Find me on” my personal Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter accounts. I probably set these up when I created my profile.

    Since then, I have a new Twitter account and Facebook page for my consulting business that I’d like to use, but I can’t seem to find where to edit these links.

    Clicking the edit link on the profile page when I’m logged in, I can use the General and Extras tabs to edit several of the fields. If I go to my forums profile, and click edit, I have some other fields I can edit. I can edit my profile on make.www.ads-software.com, but I didn’t see a way to edit the social urls on any of these.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Thanks for your help!

  • @pjackson1972 No problem. Go to your Gravatar account and make the changes to your social links there.

    Hi @mercime,

    Thank you for taking the time to post an answer, and for the good advice! It was a great reminder to update the Verified Services on my Gravatar profile! ??

    Unfortunately, this does not solve my issue. The social links on my www.ads-software.com profile are not controlled by Gravatar, and do not change when I edit my Gravatar profile.

    Any other suggestions?

    @pjackson1972 I’m pretty sure that all your social media profiles are pulled in automatically from Gravatar. Checking your social media links at https://profiles.www.ads-software.com/pjackson1972 looks like your facebook, linkedin and twitter links are good. Perhaps you forgot to refresh your browser?

    My appologies, @mercime! It looks like you’re right!

    I was confused because the Gravatar profile with this email address didn’t have social links set up before today. However, the Gravatar set up under my PERSONAL email DID have the social links set. It didn’t occur to me to go back and check that profile, since I didn’t think it had a connection with this account anymore.

    So, I think I set up this account under my personal email address originally, and the gravatar profile with my personal social links was applied. Then I’m guessing when I edited the email on this account, and changed it to my business address, my photo was updated, but since I didn’t have any social links set, they were left unchanged.

    When I went in earlier today and set up the social links for the first time on the business email’s gravatar profile, those changes must have triggered the links to update on my WordPress profile, finally replacing the original personal social links… or something like that.

    As you say, when I was testing earlier, I must not have updated my browser. Now when I navigate to the profile, as you said, the social links perfectly reflect what I have set up for this account’s Gravatar.

    Awesome! Thanks again for your help and your patience! ??

    @pjackson1972 You’re welcome. Glad all’s well ??
