I am having difficulty with social media icons. My old theme had a section which all I had to do was input my social media URLS and it was done for me. I found some icons on the net and uploaded them to my Media Library.
I read this article on WordPress.com with instructions on how to add social media icons: http://en.support.wordpress.com/add-social-media-buttons-to-your-sidebar-or-footer/
I’m trying to add the icons to my Header Bar widget as well as inside of the Static Block for the Pre-Footer row. I’ve put the code the article above suggested and tried the coding from the source of the icons in my Stacic Block (Pre Footer Row) and Widget text boxes (Header Top Bar). I also put the coding the icon source told me to in custom CSS. I’m trying to make these icons be in a nice pretty row just like the Legenda Demo pages.
Can you tell me what I’m missing to make these work in this theme? Login below.
Thank you very much in advance. I have been working on this all day and just keep hitting walls.
Hello,
You added unnecessary symbols to the code for social media icons.
I’ve corrected it and added the following code into custom.css file:
.prefooter .custom-info-block {
width: 50%;
}
.top-bar .languages-area .custom-info-block {
width: 100%;
}
Please check the page now.

Hi there,
Thank you – those icons look perfect and are positioned perfectly. Thank you thank you thank you!
I did notice however in my Pre footer row that my Connect link and text were moved to be left aligned. I tried adding the code from the documentation for this to center ‘Connect’ and to also make the ‘We dare you to shoot for you’ right aligned, but both are going below. I tried a few variations with spacing and just can’t figure it out.
Thanks in advance,
Marie
