Social Icons / Newsletter Subscription

Sparkling
1

Hello!

since Newsletter Subscription is one way you could “follow us” I think it would make sense to add an Social Icon for that, linking to my Page with the Subscription form. Is there any way to do that with the Social-Widget? Or would i have to code that in somehow?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Felix,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

The Sparkling theme displays social icons using fontawesome font so could you please tell us which icon displayed on the following page you want to show for subscription form icon.

“fa-envelope” would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Hi Felix,

Thank you for your reply.

You can achieve this by adding the class “fa-envelope” to the Newsletter Subscription custom menu item and then add the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of the latest version of Sparkling theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Customize -> Sparkling Options -> Other -> Custom CSS

#menu-social li.fa-envelope:before{
    display: none;
}
#menu-social li.fa-envelope a i:before {
    content: "\f0e0";
}

Hi Felix,

I troubleshooted the issue on your shared site and found this is happening because of theme Custom CSS option issue.

To make the shared CSS code work, could you please try adding it in the style.css file of your child theme?
