Hi Yuki,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

You can display the social icons in the sidebar by following the below steps.

  1. Create a menu like any other menu in the admin area of your site under Appearance -> Menus .
  2. Use the correct urls in the menu items, so for twitter it must be twitter.com for facebook it must be facebook.com. Otherwise URLs won’t get recognized and you will get squares without icons.
  3. Set theme location for this menu as “Social Links”
  4. Use the social widget in the sidebar.

Best Regards,
Movin
