How do I find URL paths of uploaded files?

    I have recently uploaded some social media icons to my site through filezilla. I do not know how to follow these directions for using my custom icons:

    5. Enter the URL to the icon pack folder (https://www.yoursite.com/blog/wp-content/icons)
    6. Enter the FULL PATH to the icon pack folder (/var/www/html/yoursite/blog/wp-content/icons)

    Where do I find these URL’s? What is the FULL PATH?

    Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

    Dude. I am trying to solve the exact same problem, for probably the exact same reason.

    Will let you know if I find anything out on the interwebs.

    Peace

    Just sent an email to the developer. We’ll see what happens next!

    Make sure your icons are named properly. For example:

    facebook.png
    twitter.png
    linkedin.png

    They have to be named exactly like that or the custom icons will not work.

    To get your Path add the following to your theme’s header.php file:

    <?php echo __FILE__; ?>

    This will give you a path to your theme.. it’ll be something like /var/www/html/yoursite/wp-content/etc/etc/ect….

    Copy everything up to wp-content then change everything after it to the directory you uploaded your icons to…

    For example, if you uploaded your icons to wp-content/my-icons you put /path/to/your/wp-content/icons

    The URL is the URL to your blog and then you add (using the same information as above) https://www.yourblogurl.com/wp-content/my-icons

    Once you get the widget working, go ahead and delete the line of code from your header.php file.

    Not to be rude, but I also state in my readme that if you don’t know what a path is, or how you can find the URL to a folder you create that the custom icon area are probably not for you.

    I’m fairly certain we want to learn about these things with www.remarpro.com instead of being on simple wordpress.com.

    I appreciate you responding to the post but I found it rude that you would make that remark to someone that would like to learn on the forum and not bombard you with emails.
