Social Icons Unite Theme

Unite Theme
1

Hi,

I have just installed and set up the Unite theme however I can not figure out how to display the social icons in my header. I have attached a screen shot of what I see in the menu option.

I can not see anywhere in Themes>Customize or the menu section to add the social icons to the header area.

Thanks

Hi @dod83,

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

It gets displayed in the header automatically when you create social icons menu.

To create social icons follow the below steps :

  1. Create a menu like any other menu in the admin area of your site under Appearance -> Menus .
  2. Use the correct urls in the menu items, so for twitter it must be twitter.com for facebook it must be facebook.com. Otherwise URLs won’t get recognized and you will get squares without icons.
  3. Set theme location for this menu as “Social Menu”

If it is not displaying for you then could you please share me your site URL where it’s happening so that i can troubleshoot it?

Best Regards,
Movin

I troubleshooted the issue on your site and found the following custom CSS code you are using on your site is causing the social icons not to display

.social-icons li a {
    color: #ffffff !important;
}

so to resolve the issue either remove the above CSS code or try adding the following CSS code in the Custom CSS option of your theme on the below path.

Admin Area -> Appearance -> Unite Options -> Other -> Custom CSS

#page .social-icons li a {
    color: #DDD !important;
}
