Link option in social media buttons

    It would be nice to have one more social media button that we could use for a link. My website is for a print magazine, and I would like to add one more button that goes direct to the digital version. For now is there a way to change the title and icon of one of the existing options or just add one outside of the custom menu? Right now I am using the RSS symbol with my link, so even just changing the title (when you float over) would be a start.

    Thanks!
    Katie

    Hey Katie,

    That’s a neat idea. I’ll include a link icon in the next update for this.

    For now, you can create a “Custom Link” to add a link to the external site in either the primary or secondary menu (screenshot). You can also include the external link symbol by pasting this code into the Label for the menu icon:

    <i class="fa fa-external-link"></i>

    That will work! That’s awesome you’ll include the link idea in the next update.

    I just used css to hide the // before the link text, is that the best way here?

    Yea that’s the best way to hide it. Here’s the CSS I recommend for reference:

    .menu-secondary-items:before {
  display: none;	
}
