Social Media Icon Change

Hey techies,

Running into a bit of an issue. I am building a website for a client, and I am trying to cater the social media icons to the socials they have. They only have Facebook and Instagram.

I put the Facebook link in the FB spot. Easy peasy.

The rest are the problem, it pops up with Google plus, Pintrest, and Twitter. (Why on God’s green earth would they leave out Insta?)

Here are the ways I tried to remedy this situation already:

1. I tried poking around in the PHP, but I am mostly a front end designer and my code saavy is limited. When I tried to switch every instance of “twitter” with Instagram it fixed inb in the back dashboard, but messed up the formatting of the footer on the front end.

2. Then I got the idea that I could go find the image files in the cPanel for Twit, G+ and Pintrest and replace them with Instagram and two custom icons. That way, it wouldn’t read right in the back end, but it would look right on the front. Inspect as I may, I cannot seem to find the image files for the social media icons in the cpanel.

Ideally, I would like Facebook, Instagram and two custom icons, one that leads to a dealer’s site and one that leads to a recent publication in a respected trade mag. I can create the custom icons, I just need to know here to put them.

Is there anyway to change this within the context of the theme? Or is there any minor coding I can do? Or am I going to need to consult one of my more code savvy associates?

Thanks in advanced for the help.
