Firstly, to add your Facebook and Twitter accounts, go to the Social accounts section under General settings in the Ghost admin, and configure your Facebook and Twitter accounts there.

Now, let's take a look at how to configure your other social media accounts.:

1. In previous versions, it was necessary to modify the locales folder, but that's no longer required. We’ll now use Ghost’s Code Injection feature for this instead.

2. Go to your Ghost settings and open the Code Injection menu.

3. Next, click on the Site Footer tab, then copy the code block below and paste it into the Site Footer field. You may remove any social media platforms you don't need, but never delete the <!-- SOCIAL_LINKS_START --> and <!-- SOCIAL_LINKS_END --> tags.

<!-- SOCIAL_LINKS_START -->
<!-- instagram=https://instagram.com/username -->
<!-- youtube=https://youtube.com/@username -->
<!-- linkedin=https://www.linkedin.com/in/username -->
<!-- github=https://github.com/username -->
<!-- tiktok=https://www.tiktok.com/@username -->
<!-- reddit=https://www.reddit.com/user/username -->
<!-- mastodon=https://mastodon.social/@username -->
<!-- threads=https://www.threads.net/@username -->
<!-- medium=https://medium.com/@username -->
<!-- pinterest=https://www.pinterest.com/username -->
<!-- telegram=https://t.me/username -->
<!-- discord=https://discord.com/users/123456789012345678 -->
<!-- behance=https://www.behance.net/username -->
<!-- dribbble=https://dribbble.com/username -->
<!-- spotify=https://open.spotify.com/user/username -->
<!-- bluesky=https://bsky.app/profile/username.bsky.social -->
<!-- slack=https://workspace-name.slack.com -->
<!-- twitch=https://www.twitch.tv/username -->
<!-- whatsapp=https://wa.me/15551234567 -->
<!-- SOCIAL_LINKS_END -->

1. Enter your usernames for the platforms you need and remove the ones you don’t. For example, if you only need LinkedIn, Mastodon, and Dribbble accounts, the code should look like this:

<!-- SOCIAL_LINKS_START -->
<!-- linkedin=https://www.linkedin.com/in/username -->
<!-- mastodon=https://mastodon.social/@username -->
<!-- dribbble=https://dribbble.com/username -->
<!-- SOCIAL_LINKS_END -->

1. Then click Save. That’s it — you’re all set! 🎉

In version 2.0, the number of supported social media platforms has increased from 13 to 21, and you can now display your social media accounts in the Cover area as well. Once you've set up your social media links, they will appear in both the footer and the cover section.
