Hi.
I’ve imported one of the demo xml footer files.
I see that the social media links are share links.
What I want is the icons to be links to my client’s Facebook, Twitter, etc., not share links.
I see you use a [share] shortcode in the demo footer.
Is there a shortcode to do what I mention above?
On the other hand, where can I find a list of all available shortcodes that can be used in text blocks?
Usually, in other Themes there is a dropdwon in the text block menu with all available shortcodes.

Thanks.

Hello,

You need edit the file wp-content/themes/classico/framework/shortcodes.php (find the section “! Share This Product” in line 460), to change links you need edit the code, for example for Twitter and replacehttps://twitter.com/share?url=’.$permalink.’&text=’.$post_title.’` with a link to your Twitter account.

To find shortcodes please refer to our documentation https://www.8theme.com/classico-theme-documentation/ (“4.3. Classico Shortcodes”).

Eva Kemp.

But what about future theme updates? That data will be overridden…
Maybe I’ll have to duplicate that shortcode with a different name in my child theme.
Is there really no other way in the theme to add links to Facebook, Twitter, etc?
I think you should consider adding that in future updates. In my opinion its something every theme should have.
Thanks.

Hello,

You can place the file to your child theme and edit it there or Classico theme 1.6 version has a new widget “8theme – Social links” in Appearance > Widgets where you can enter your own social links. Create custom sidebar http://prntscr.com/aqggol and add “8theme – Social links” into there. To add to your pages you need use “Widgetised Sidebar” element in VC editor and select your custom sidebar that you created.

Sorry I should’ve looked at it closer before asking.
I see VC includes a social media icons component.
Thanks.
