    Hi! I just installed Hueman on my site and I love it! Thanks so much for the great theme!

    My question is this: I’d like to put a button for people to email me in the top “follow” section – so I’d like to add a link that pulls up an email for people under the “social links” section. The only way I know how to do this is with html code (Email Me) but since it’s not a web address the icon won’t work/display.

    Is there any way to do this or a work around that I could use? I’m a blogger and I don’t know that much about html, css, web design or development, so I’m not at all sure how to go about this or if there is even a way to do it. Any help would be appreciated!

    Also, here is the link to my site: https://www.lovelywren.com, but it is in maintenance mode right now so you can’t see much anyway. Thanks again!

  • Hi! Thanks!

    It should work with a mailto: in the a href field. Try these values when you add it:

    Title: Send Mail (or whatever)
    Icon Name: fa-envelope
    Link: mailto:[email protected]

    Oh thank you that worked perfectly!! Like I said, I’m a newbie, so I was trying it with the full and that wasn’t working.

    Thanks again, I really love the theme and the support forum is so helpful – thanks for being so responsive with getting back to me!
