Apply Icon To Hyperlink

To assign the icon to a hyperlink, bold the hyperlink text in editing.

By default, the plugin applies to paragraph hyperlinks. If you want to apply to a header hyperlink instead, replace ‘p’ with one of the header options:

• Header 1 - h1

• Header 2 - h2

• Header 3 - h3

• Header 4 - h4

The plugin will only apply when the hyperlink is set to bold, so don’t forget that.

Customizable Options

• Icon Width

• Icon Height

• Left Spacing

• Right Spacing

• Invert (Black or White)

• Default Icon URL

• Hyperlink Font Weight

Use Your Own Icon

Use CSS > Manage Files to upload and generate a file URL for your own icon. Then swap out the default icon’s URL with your file’s URL.
