Snapchat Social Icon?

Hi,

Are you not using the latest version of the theme? In the latest version of the theme, you can use YouTube icon without editing any files. It supports some 14 social icons. If you’re using a child theme then delete the social.php file.

And it’s snapchat-ghost for Snapchat. It will work on the last version of the theme. But you should use the latest social.php file and I can also tell you how to add snapchat-ghost to it.

Let me know.

Regards,
Hardeep

Hi Hardeep, I updated to the latest version and I see that the YouTube does work by just typing in a YouTube URL in the URL field. Can you walk me through how to add Snapchat? I copy/pasted the social.php file into TextEdit, and tried replacing “github” with “snapchat-ghost” and then pasted it back into the wp editor, but that didn’t work.

Lemme know, loving the theme!

Hi,

Let me tell you how to add Snapchat properly. First of all, delete the social.php file from your child theme.

Now add the following CSS to your style.css file or using Advanced CSS Editor plugin:

.icon-item .icon a[href*="snapchat.com"] i::before {
	content: '\f2ac';
}

And after that, you can visit your Customizer and add your SnapChat profile link and it will show Snapchat icon.

Let me know if it works. I’ll be traveling tomorrow so see yea in a couple of day. ??

Hey Hardeep,

Neither of those seemed to work. When you say “delete the social.php file from your child theme”:

I go to appearance > editor then scroll down to the social.php file on the right hand column under ‘Themes’ and then I just deleted all the code from that php file. Is this what you mean? (I cut/pasted it to a text edit file so I still have it, FYI)

When I do that, and add your code into the css style.css file or add it to the Advanced CSS Editor plugin, in both scenarios, the entire “Social” grey section is gone from the page. It goes from the ‘About’ section to the ‘Services’ section when I view the page.

Let me know when you get back, hope you enjoy your vacation ??

You need to delete the file using FTP or WPIde plugin. Just landed. Picked up baggage. Not heading to railway station. Bye. ??

hmm, tried, but it’s not working. Just installed WPIde, found the file and deleted it. Same thing happens as before, the entire “Social” grey section is gone from the page. It goes from the ‘About’ section to the ‘Services’ section.

If you’re on holiday don’t worry about it. Not an urgent issue. Talk soon!

Could you contact me using my site’s contact page? I will have to check why it’s not working for you. ??

Hey,

I didn’t hear back from you after your first email. Anyway, I found out that it wasn’t working because Snapchat I can was added to Font Awesome in the latest release, which wasn’t out when the theme was released.

The next update should be out today, I guess. It should fix it. ??
