I have this code for my footer:  
`<a href="https://www.facebook.com/ThriftyCabinets"><i class="fab fa-facebook-square"></i></a> © 2019 Bruce Kieffer and Thrifty Cabinets`

I’m wondering why the link does not work. Any ideas why not?

That’s Fontawesome 5. Is it properly loaded?

Try this link…you can’t be logged in as you to get the right link.

Looks like it is working from here just not on the home page.

My problem is there’s no link when I hover over the footer in my browser.

There are various positioning things going on that are blocking your clicks from registering. Try adding this to the page level css:

```auto
#footerOverlay{
z-index: 1 !important;
}

```

This might be theme related. I have the same footer code in other project sites, and they work fine. I will contact the developer to see what they think.
