If you’re building a website using Hostinger Website Builder and want a clean, distraction-free design, one of the first things you may want to do is remove unnecessary social media icons. These often appear in the header, footer, or even between content sections—and in many cases, they don’t align with your branding or conversion goals.
In this quick tutorial, you’ll learn how to remove social media icons in Hostinger Website Builder across all parts of your website.
Why Remove Social Icons?
Not every website needs to promote social media. In some cases, especially for professional portfolios, client landing pages, or e-commerce stores, these icons can clutter the layout or distract visitors from the primary goal—like making a purchase or contacting you.
Step-by-Step: How to Remove Social Icons in Hostinger
1. Log In and Open the Website Builder
Start by logging in to your Hostinger account. Under the “Websites” tab, find the website you want to edit and click Edit Website.
2. Remove Social Icons from the Header
- Select the header section.
- Click Edit Header > Elements tab.
- Toggle Show Social Icons off.
That’s it! The icons will disappear instantly from the header.
3. Delete Icons from Content Sections
If social icons are present between sections:
- Click on the icons element directly.
- Press the Delete icon.
This removes any additional social links embedded within your page content.
4. Remove Social Icons from the Footer
Repeat the process for the footer:
- Click the social icons in the footer.
- Hit the Delete icon.
5. Optional: Control Icon Visibility
You can also hide social media icons for specific devices (mobile or desktop):
- Select the icon element.
- Click the eye icon to control visibility per device.
6. Save and Publish
Don’t forget to update and publish your website after making changes so they reflect on your live site.
Final Result
Your website should now be free of all social media icons—in the header, between sections, and in the footer—resulting in a cleaner and more focused layout.
