Pleaz let me know the directions to add blocks to the widget area in 5.8 in order to add social icons to the widget area …
July 5, 2021 at 12:22 pm #1845639YingStaffCustomer SupportHi Loic,
Where exactly are you trying to add the social icons?
Let me know 🙂
July 5, 2021 at 3:02 pm #1845775LoïcIn the top bar, extreme right like https://www.dreadcentral.com/
I want to use blocks.Thanks

July 6, 2021 at 3:05 am #1846164DavidStaffCustomer SupportHi there,
you can use a Block Element:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/block-element-overview/
Create you content with blocks, we recommend the GenerateBlocks plugin to do that as it gives you full styling control.
Then select the hook:menu_bar_items
This will add the blocks in that position. On Desktop and Mobile.
If you only want them displayed on Desktop, then when you build your content place them inside a Container Block, and give the Advanced > Additional CSS Class(es) a class of:hide-on-mobile
July 6, 2021 at 7:57 am #1846664LoïcSorry but it is not clear. I created an element with the hook menu_bar_items and three columns but how do I add the icons? and how do I place it in the top bar and not the header?
July 6, 2021 at 8:03 am #1846671DavidStaffCustomer SupportThe GB Buttons ( and Headline ) Blocks both have an icon option – see the buttons icon doc here:
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/buttons-overview/#icon
It contains those social icons in the example link you provided.
And there is an option to remove the text from the button so only the icon is displayed.And this doc explains how you can add more icons to GenerateBlocks Free:

July 6, 2021 at 4:06 pm #1847070LoïcThanks but how to place it in the top bar (not header), pushed to the right ? I have two horizontal menus, one in the head and one in the top bar.
July 7, 2021 at 1:02 am #1847317LoïcWhen I add the social icons buttons, there is no choice given to pick up icons … The menu is different then that https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/buttons-overview/#icon I have GP premium installed and generateblocks free plugin …
July 7, 2021 at 2:48 am #1847385DavidStaffCustomer SupportMake sure its the GB Buttons Block ( not the core buttons block ) and check the rest of the doc:
https://docs.generateblocks.com/article/buttons-overview/
You will see Buttons are made of 2 x Blocks – the outer container and the individual button. Make sure you have the individual button selected.
July 7, 2021 at 4:27 am #1847457LoïcHow can I add those GB Buttons block ?
is it part of GB premium ? I have only the GB free plugin …
I don’t see any choice or possibility to load font or icons ….July 7, 2021 at 5:30 am #1847500DavidStaffCustomer SupportNo you only need the Free Plugin – this one:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/generateblocks/
It only adds 4 blocks one of which is the Buttons Block:
July 7, 2021 at 6:13 am #1847538LoïcOK I found them 🙂 What confusing is that there are social icons presented in the choice of blocks … Now I want to place them in the top bar, not the header and on the right side (at the moment it sticks to the right of the menu in the head. )
July 7, 2021 at 7:09 am #1847587DavidStaffCustomer SupportCan you share a link to your site so i can see the layout ?
July 7, 2021 at 4:34 pm #1848284LoïcI am on local, just want to assign that block to the top.
