Add instagram link to the navigation

Themes
6

OK thats very simple to do. Just a heads up if you do decide to change the instagram account of the link you will need to change it within the theme its not like the twitter and facebook where you can change it from the admin panel.

so what you need to do is add one line to the following file in your theme folder (this is based of a fresh casper download

partials/site-nav.hbs after line 21 you will add the following

<a class="social-link social-link-ig fa-instagram" href="https://www.instagram.com/ghost/" title="Instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{{> "icons/instagram"}}</a>

next you will make a new file called partials/icons/instagram.hbs
in that file you will past the following code

<svg aria-hidden="true" focusable="false" data-prefix="fab" data-icon="instagram" class="svg-inline--fa fa-instagram fa-w-14" role="img" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 448 512"><path fill="currentColor" d="M224.1 141c-63.6 0-114.9 51.3-114.9 114.9s51.3 114.9 114.9 114.9S339 319.5 339 255.9 287.7 141 224.1 141zm0 189.6c-41.1 0-74.7-33.5-74.7-74.7s33.5-74.7 74.7-74.7 74.7 33.5 74.7 74.7-33.6 74.7-74.7 74.7zm146.4-194.3c0 14.9-12 26.8-26.8 26.8-14.9 0-26.8-12-26.8-26.8s12-26.8 26.8-26.8 26.8 12 26.8 26.8zm76.1 27.2c-1.7-35.9-9.9-67.7-36.2-93.9-26.2-26.2-58-34.4-93.9-36.2-37-2.1-147.9-2.1-184.9 0-35.8 1.7-67.6 9.9-93.9 36.1s-34.4 58-36.2 93.9c-2.1 37-2.1 147.9 0 184.9 1.7 35.9 9.9 67.7 36.2 93.9s58 34.4 93.9 36.2c37 2.1 147.9 2.1 184.9 0 35.9-1.7 67.7-9.9 93.9-36.2 26.2-26.2 34.4-58 36.2-93.9 2.1-37 2.1-147.8 0-184.8zM398.8 388c-7.8 19.6-22.9 34.7-42.6 42.6-29.5 11.7-99.5 9-132.1 9s-102.7 2.6-132.1-9c-19.6-7.8-34.7-22.9-42.6-42.6-11.7-29.5-9-99.5-9-132.1s-2.6-102.7 9-132.1c7.8-19.6 22.9-34.7 42.6-42.6 29.5-11.7 99.5-9 132.1-9s102.7-2.6 132.1 9c19.6 7.8 34.7 22.9 42.6 42.6 11.7 29.5 9 99.5 9 132.1s2.7 102.7-9 132.1z"></path></svg>

and thats all it takes. let me know if it works. but a quick test on my side shows that its all wrking perfectly.

for reference of site-nav.hbs this is that it would look loke

<div class="social-links">
    {{#if @site.facebook}}
        <a class="social-link social-link-fb" href="{{facebook_url @site.facebook}}" title="Facebook" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{{> "icons/facebook"}}</a>
    {{/if}}
    {{#if @site.twitter}}
        <a class="social-link social-link-tw" href="{{twitter_url @site.twitter}}" title="Twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{{> "icons/twitter"}}</a>
    {{/if}}
    <a class="social-link social-link-ig fa-instagram" href="https://www.instagram.com/ghost/" title="Instagram" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{{> "icons/instagram"}}</a>
</div>
