  How to Add Social Media Icons to a WordPress Menu<\/h2>\n
  If you’d like to have a menu with both text links and social media icons, WordPress can do that! Only the links going to social media sites are converted to icons, all other links will use the Link Text set in the Customizer. The example shown here is a single menu in the WordPress Customizer.<\/p>\n
  $\"mixed$ <\/p>\n
  Open a Menu Link in a New Tab<\/h2>\n
  You can make any menu item open in a new tab by enabling the Link Target setting in the Customizer.<\/p>\n
  \n
  Open the Customizer and click on Menus<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  Click on the gear icon<\/strong> to show the advanced menu properties
  \n $\"customizer$ <\/li>\n
  Check the box by the Link Target<\/strong> setting.<\/li>\n
  Now open the menu with the links you’d like to open in a new tab.<\/li>\n
  Click the arrow on a menu item to expand the options. You should now see the Open link in a new tab<\/strong> option under the Navigation Label field. Check this box.
  \n $\"open$ <\/li>\n
  Click Publish<\/strong> to save the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
