Get rid of stars

Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus > Manage Locations and remove the assigned menu from the “Social Menu” location (by setting the dropdown box to “– Select A Menu –“. That menu location is intended to be used to provide links to your social media sites and as you’ve seen, it doesn’t really work as a normal navigation menu.

It worked! Thank you. I am not sure I understand as I am in a bit of a muddle with menus even though I have them looking like I want. I guess it will click with me in time.

Expound supports two menus: the normal navigation menu and a social media menu, which you can use to link to your social media sites. To use the social media menu, first go to Dashboard > Appearance > Menus, and create a new menu like normal. Name your new menu “Social Media”.

Next, select “Links” from the leftmost accordion (the same place you’ll find “Pages” and “Categories”. For the URL, enter your social media URL, and for Link Text, enter the name of the social media network, then select “Add to Menu”. After you’ve entered all of your social media networks this way, save your menu like normal.

Finally, go to the “Manage Locations” tab and assign your newly-created menu to the “Social Menu” location. When you visit your site, you’ll see icons corresponding to each of the social media networks you’ve entered, in the same place where you previously saw the row of stars.

I’m trying to get an icon for my Feed. I see in the CSS there is a section for “feed” but when I add it to the Social Media Menu, the feed icon comes up as a star…how can I change that and make it the RSS symbol?
