trouble changing social icons

  • I replaced two of the social media icons with pinterest and youtube. The icons both link correctly to my pinterest and youtube accounts but the youtube icon is blank rather than having the little symbol on it like the rest of them do.

    This is the method I used that I found on another duena thread.

    Open theme editor and open both theme functions (functions.php) and options.php. Then press ctrl+f to find what what I want to replace. I typed linkedin. Then in both the functions and options sections I replaced every “linkedin” word with “youtube”

    my site is awildrumpus.com

    Please help! THANKS

  • You are missing css for that icon, so you need to put

    .icon-youtube:before {
    content: "\f167";
}

    into your style.css file of your child Duena theme or custom css field in admin area. It is not good to change default Duena files because you will lose all changes after theme update.

    I have a similar problem.. I just would like to change my linkedin icon so it links to my ask.fm. i found out how to change the icon in bootstrap.css. But i would like to put this change with my childtheme.

    I’ve put the modified bootstrap.css in the fodler bootstrap/css in my cildtheme,n identically to the original theme. It didn’t worked. So i included a @import url("bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css"); in my childtheme’s style.css. Nothing. Also tried to put .icon-linkedin:before {content: "\f0e6";} at the end of style.css. Nothing either.

    Am i really forced to mod the original bootstrap.css file or did i do something wrong ?

    thanks for your reply ^^
