Add-on for Facebook and Logo

[Anthi Iliopoulou]

As I can see in the available preview for GeneratePress theme, there is a facebook connect indicator and a logo placed next to the header of the theme. Is there an add-on that provides the following options:
facebook indicator
logo placed next to the header and
modification of the header’s fonts concerning letter size and letter type?

Thank you in advance

Hi there,

The Facebook icon in the header is using the header widget area and this free plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/lightweight-social-icons/

As for the header font, our Typography add-on allows you to change the letter size and type, plus more.

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

Hello and thank you for your help. I am not sure that I know what is the header widget area and I have not understand how to make the logo to float left of the page title?

Thank you again

Once you install the icons plugin I linked to above, go to “Appearance > Widgets” and you’ll see it in the left area. Drag it into the Header widget area on the right, and then add your social profiles.

This thread should help for putting the logo to the left of your site title/tagline: http://generatepress.com/forums/topic/position-of-the-header-logo/

Let me know 🙂

Hi:

Can you also use this social plugin for page/post sharing purposes? If not, can you recommend a lightweight one?

Thanks

[Tom]

The one above is just for the follow icons in your widgets.

Kind of tough to find a good, lightweight sharing one – I may have to build one myself.

Something like this isn’t necessarily lightweight, but it works: https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-share-buttons-adder/

Same with: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ultimate-social-media-icons/

Hi Tom.

I`m using Simple Share Buttons adder. Now, when I share a post, it takes the image form my slider (MetaSlider) to my FB-share. Is there a way to set permanent image that FB-share uses every time I share something to Facebook?

[Tom]

If you’re using a plugin like Yoast SEO, you can manually select an image for social networks to pick up. That’s probably your best bet 🙂
