happy it worked! It may have been a cache problem with your browser.

when you go to the customization page does it give you more options for social media icons? like instagram, tumblr, flickr etc… Or do you still only have the options for the two or three that the theme came with?

Nope haha I’m helping a friend build their site using this theme and she ran into the same problem. Figured since I found a solution that I would share it ??

Glad it worked for you…kind of haha. My guess is that you may have added an extra “<?php endif; ?>”, but I’m not sure about that syntax error. I’d need to see the whole file to know whats going on. But as long as you were able to add the services you needed then you should be good!

As for updating the theme, I wouldn’t know since I’m not the developer haha. I honestly don’t know why it wasn’t released with all of the other icons included since it is really simple to add and is already apart of the icon set that is currently used on the site. I hope it does get updated tho!

I realized that I forgot to add the instagram and flickr icons. I’ve updated the code the download link should still work.

ok! first off make sure to create a backup of your site before you make any changes. You will need to edit the header.php, functions.php and style.css files, so make sure you back those files up before editing them. Here is a download link with the code you need to add to those files: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5636531/Add_Serene_Social_Icons.zip

Next you can edit the files through the wordpress theme editor or with your own text editor.

First
open the header.php file and do a search (cmd+f mac, ctrl+f windows) for “facebook”. Now go to the first “<?php endif; ?>” that comes after all of the “facebook” text and hit return/enter at the very start of the “<?php endif; ?>” to create a new line. Make sure you are outside of those brackets. Copy and paste everything from my header file onto that new line and save.

Second
open the functions.php file and do a search for “facebook” again. Hit return before “$wp_customize->add_setting( ‘facebook_url'” to create a new line and paste everything from my function file there and save.

Third
open the style.css file and do a search for “facebook” again. Hit return after the closing bracket ‘}’ to create a new line and paste everything from my style file there and save.

After all that you should be able to add your social links in the wordpress customization section under theme settings. Hope that works for you!

I was able to edit the theme to use more social icons (instagram & flickr). let me know if you still need help.
