Linking Google+ Page?

I am trying to link my website to my business Google+ Page and it tells me to paste this code into the homepage. I don't feel comfortable just pasting it into the editor. I tried putting it in the custom CSS spot but that didn't seem to work.

This is what I'm trying to do: https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1713826?p=link_page_to_website&rd=1

Ideas?

Thanks!

 

Hello,

Follow the instruction given below.

1. Firstly upload the google+ logo icon of dimension 20 x 20 pixels from Media > Add New panel of your dashboard
and then copy image URL address.

2. Go to the footer.php file present in your theme directory and and paste the code given below in that file as shown in the image given below.

Code:

<li><a class="g_plus" title="google+" href="Enter the URL link of your google+ account" ><span></span></a></li> 

3. Paste the code given below in Custom CSS section
(Appearance -> Theme Options -> Styling Options -> Custom CSS) of your dashboard.

Code:

.social_logos li a.g_plus {
background: url('https://ec.europa.eu/eures/images/social/GooglePlus_logo20px.png') no-repeat;
width: 20px;
height: 20px;
} 

This will solve your issue.

 

It worked! The test website said it was successful. I already had a widget with social media icons on it, so I just changed the second code to 0 for both pixel sizes and it doesn't show the icon at the bottom. Still seems to work for the test too!

Thanks
