    Hi there I wish to place social link icons in the header.

    I have removed the default social sharing links succesfully and now wish to replace this with social link icons in the header.

    I have tried creating a static block and then using this in a widget area but this does not display anything.

    I have also tried copying the code of the static block and then pasting this into the Header HTML section in theme settings.

    I would also like some help in changing the background colour on the Homepage. As can be seen there is a white strip before the Footer. I have tried changing the page background colour from the them settings on the page however this does not have any effect.

    Thanks for this!

    I have tried creating a full header using a custom block however the menu style gets lost.

    I have now copied header-structure-2.php to my child theme. Am I correct in assuming that I need to edit the below line:

    <div class=”tbs blog-description”><span><?php echo etheme_get_option(‘header_custom_block’); ?></span></div>

    What would I need to change to enable the use of a widget or static block on the right to allow social icons?

    Hello,

    I’ve changed your custom css, so now Header custom HTML is shown.

    Thanks! I see it was working until I made one change to the custom HTML to make it not the colorful version. Now the icons are not displaying any more.
