The Goal: Add custom links to your Info Hub left-hand navigation menu so you can offer additional options to your members alongside your Web Content (jobs, hot deals, etc.).
Before You Begin:
- You need staff access to Memberships > Info Hub settings.
- Have the link name and destination URL ready for each link you want to add.
- (Optional) If you want an icon next to a link, set up a free Font Awesome kit and have the icon code ready. Here's how to sign up for Font Awesome and find free icons!

Step-by-Step Instructions
- Go to Memberships, Info Hub section, click Settings.
- Click Links in the Settings section. A list of the links you have currently configured for your system will be displayed.
Info Hub Links section - Click the Add button.
The Add Link window- Link Name: Enter a name for the link. This is the name that will appear in the left-hand navigation.
- Link URL: Enter the link URL.
- Display Order: Enter the desired location of the link in the left-hand navigation. You may use negative numbers to display the links below the web content items.
-
Hub Icon: (Optional) You may enter a Font Awesome icon to be displayed in the left-hand navigation for this item in the Info Hub. You will have to set up an account with Font Awesome; simply sign up for the free kit; find the icon you like and enter the code for your custom icon. For example, if you wish to add a restaurant icon to a “Places to Eat” directory, you could enter the code fas fa-utensils and the
icon would be displayed next to your link in the Info Hub. Here's how to sign up for Font Awesome and find free icons!
- Click Done.
Common Pitfalls
- Link buried below Web Content: The Display Order value controls where the link appears. Use a negative number only if you intentionally want the link to sit below your web content items; otherwise it may not appear where members expect.
