New social icons & colors

  • I love the theme’s social icon animations, but I’m looking to add more (like email for example). The author has icons to download on his site, but I don’t know how to add them.

    I’m also wondering how to change various colors, as the offered background, header, and tagline aren’t nearly enough.

  • I had this same problem! I took the time today to figure it out – you have to have JUST ONE social media icon active (Appearance > Customize) for this to work. Also, have your icons uploaded into your media library.

    Then, go into Appearance > Editor > social-sociocon.php

    You need to edit this file (so please save a copy first).

    At – insert your social media link, like a normal link
    At <img src=””> – insert the link to your icon

    Don’t forget to make sure the tags are closed.

    Copy and paste with all of your appropriate links and icons!

    Delete your cache and refresh your page!

    (My page is under construction, since I was trying to figure it out, but it worked for me, so please let me know if you have problems)

    Darn it! First ever comment – Sorry for the screw up!

    I don’t follow. The first part doesn’t seem to say where, just “At-“, and the whole thing is one big link.

    And for the <img src=””>, do I copy it 5 times or whatever with each one linking to a different icon?

    It should look like this:
    <a href="https://www.facebook.com/getcreativeAKCP"><img src="https://www.ashleykress.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/facebook2.png"></i></a>

    You can use that with whatever links and icons you’d like. You just need to have the code copied for each link.

    You’re a hero. Can’t thank you enough! Do you happen to know if you can do it without one activated? I’d like to get icons that look like they came from the same pack, and the Twitter one has odd bars on the sides of the circle.

    No, you need to have one activated for them to show up. You can upload your own images to the media library and just use their links in the code under “img src.”

    I tried it as you’ve described but it doesn’t work. It seems like it doesn’t recognizes the picture. If I change it I can click on some empty frame and get directed to the right link….but it’s an empty frame and no logo showing up.

    Can anybody help??

    Ashley could you perhaps copy the complete code of the social-sociocon.php? Perhaps that would help me.

    Thanks a lot!
