How do I set up my footer contact info and social media links?

Configure your WanderOS site footer: support email, phone, address, and social media. Auto-populated on signup, editable any time.

Quick answer

You set up your footer contact info and social media links from Settings → Website in your WanderOS dashboard. Contact info (email, phone, address) lives under Contact. Social media URLs live under Social Media Links. This applies to all WanderOS hosts. Both sections were auto-populated when you signed up if you provided an existing website URL. Edit either section any time to update details, click Save, and the footer updates immediately.


How do I access my contact and social media settings?

Contact info and social links are managed in two separate sections of the WanderOS dashboard.

  1. Log in to your dashboard at app.wander.com.

  2. Open Settings in the left sidebar, then open the Website group.

  3. Click Contact to manage your contact information, or Social Media Links to manage your social profiles.

Note: Contact and Social Media Links are configured independently. Saving one does not affect the other.


How does auto-population work?

If you provided an existing website URL when you signed up, WanderOS automatically extracted key elements to pre-populate your site:

  • Brand assets: Logo, favicon, and accent color

  • Contact details: Phone number, support email, and physical address

  • Social presence: Handles for Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms

  • Core pages: Information for About Us, Terms and Conditions, and Privacy Policy

If any information was missed or needs to be updated, manually edit each field in the Contact or Social Media Links sections.


How do I update my contact information (email, phone, address)?

You update contact info in three steps from a single screen.

  1. Go to Settings → Website → Contact.

  2. Edit any of the three fields: Email, Phone number, or Property manager address.

  3. Click Save.

All three fields are required. The Save button only enables once you have changed at least one value. Updates publish immediately and appear in your site footer.

Field

Format

What it becomes on the live site

Email

Valid email address (e.g. [email protected])

Clickable mailto: link in the footer

Phone number

Whatever format you want displayed (e.g. +1 (555) 123-4567)

Clickable tel: link in the footer

Property manager address

Standard mailing format with street, city, state, zip

Clickable link that opens Google Maps

Tip: Use the format you would put on a business card. Addresses with a complete street, city, state, and zip geocode most reliably in Google Maps.

Note: Contact info also appears anywhere else on your site that references the same website-level settings (for example, on a Contact Us page). Updating it here updates it everywhere.


How do I add or update my social media links?

You add social media links in three steps from a single screen.

  1. Go to Settings → Website → Social Media Links.

  2. Enter the full URL for each platform you use (e.g. https://instagram.com/yourbrand).

  3. Click Save.

WanderOS supports the following social platforms:

  • Facebook

  • X (formerly Twitter)

  • Instagram

  • TikTok

  • YouTube

Only platforms with a URL entered display an icon in your footer. Leave a field blank to hide that platform. If no social links are configured, the "Follow us" bar does not appear.


What does my footer include?

Your WanderOS site footer is generated automatically based on your Contact and Social Media Links settings. The footer includes:

  • Social media icons: A "Follow us" bar with linked icons for each configured social profile (only appears if at least one social link is set)

  • Links section: Links to your Property Manager Portal, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Rental Agreement (if configured)

  • Pages section: Links to your sitemap and any custom pages you have published

  • Contact us section: Clickable email, phone, and address links (only appears if at least one contact field is filled in)

  • Your logo: Displayed at the bottom of the footer

  • "Powered by WanderOS" attribution: A link to wander.com/os

Important: The footer cannot be hidden entirely. It appears on every page of your WanderOS site. If you leave contact and social media fields blank, those sections will not appear, but the footer will still display your page links, legal links, logo, and attribution.

Note: The "Powered by WanderOS" attribution cannot be removed. This link appears in every WanderOS site footer.


Troubleshooting

If your footer or contact info is not behaving as expected, check the most common causes below.

  • Save button is disabled on Contact: The button only enables after you change at least one field. Edit a value, then save.

  • "Must be at least 1 character" or "Must be at least 3 character" error: All three contact fields are required. Restore the previous value or enter a new one before saving.

  • Email is rejected: The Email field requires a valid email format. Check for typos and missing @ symbols.

  • Update is not visible on my live site: Hard-refresh your site (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows). If the change still does not appear, log out and back in to confirm you saved against the correct website.

  • My address does not open Google Maps correctly: Use a complete, conventional address with street, city, state, and zip code. Free-form values may not geocode reliably.

  • A social media icon is not showing: Confirm the URL is the full link (starts with https://) and that you clicked Save.

  • "Follow us" bar is missing: It only renders when at least one social media URL is configured. Add a single platform URL and save to make it appear.

  • I want to remove the "Powered by WanderOS" link: This is not configurable. The attribution link appears in every WanderOS site footer.
