Add Linkedin to Social Widget?

Hello @gregpare,

It seems like the LinkedIn social service is indeed missing from the [MT] Social Media widget so I just pushed this to be implemented in the upcoming theme update.

If you want to give it a try and custom code it before this hit the shelves you should have a look in widgets folder > widget-social-icons.php

Best regards

Thanks. Got it working.

But, it doesn’t seem to work in a child theme. Is there something else I need to do to make it load the child theme widget over the regular one?

I’m guessing something to add to my functions.php file that would load the widget-social-icons.php from my child theme?

Well this is strange, as far as my knowledge goes you should just create the folder and the file in the child theme and it should get directly used as the theme file.

You’re saying that you created the widgets folder, placed the file inside, did the modifications with no differences on the website?

You should keep in mind that you have to hardcode the icon and keep it outside of any if endif syntaxes, and you will not have the options to appear in the dashboard but directly on the website.

If nothing seems to be working, you might want to take this issue to support@machothemes.com with more information.

Cheers

Even though they don’t load, I’ll just keep a copy of my changes with my child theme for now. Once the theme updates, I’ll go that route. Thanks for your help!
