Hi !!!
I need a little help.

I use the Mantle theme. And i try to insert Social Icons in the Header background.
In the style.css of Mantle i insert

.social {
	float: left;
	margin-left: 10px;
	margin-top: 10px;
} 

In the header.php of GeneratePress i insert.

<div class="social">
  <?php echo do_shortcode('[aps-social id="1"]')?>
</div>

But the Social Icons are under the background....

I need the social icons in front of the background. How i do ???
Thank you....

My header.php

<?php
/**
 * The Header for our theme.
 *
 * Displays all of the <head> section and everything up till <main id="main">
 *
 * @package GeneratePress
 */
?><!DOCTYPE html>
<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
<head>
	<meta charset="<?php bloginfo( 'charset' ); ?>">
	<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
	<?php if ( ! function_exists( '_wp_render_title_tag' ) ) : ?>
		<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); ?></title>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<link rel="profile" href="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
	<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo( 'pingback_url' ); ?>">
	<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>
<body itemtype="http://schema.org/WebPage" itemscope="itemscope" <?php body_class(); ?>>
	<?php do_action( 'generate_before_header' ); ?>
	<header itemtype="http://schema.org/WPHeader" itemscope="itemscope" id="masthead" role="banner" <?php generate_header_class(); ?>>
		<div <?php generate_inside_header_class(); ?>>
			<?php do_action( 'generate_before_header_content'); ?>
			<?php generate_header_items(); ?>
			<?php do_action( 'generate_after_header_content'); ?>
		</div><!-- .inside-header -->

<div class="social">
  <?php echo do_shortcode('[aps-social id="1"]')?>
</div>

	</header><!-- #masthead -->
	<?php do_action( 'generate_after_header' ); ?>
	
	<div id="page" class="hfeed site grid-container container grid-parent">
		<div id="content" class="site-content">
			<?php do_action('generate_inside_container'); ?>

Hi there,

Any reason why you're not using the Header Widget in "Appearance > Widgets"?

Might be the easier way to go :)

Maybe.... But i don´t display correctly.....
And i like my icons..

You can use your icons in the header widget as well?

Where are you wanting them to display?

i want to remove the blank.

I need the icons in the border in the corner left of the picture.

You best bet is to add those icons in a "Text" widget to the "Header" widget area.

Then add this CSS:

.inside-header {
      position: relative;
}

.header-widget {
      position: absolute;
      left: 10px;
      bottom: 10px;
}

Hope this helps :)

Great.. That's Works !!!
Thanks you !!!

You're welcome :)

I have added a social icon in the inside-header next to the social menu done with Simple Social Icons (Mantle-theme). I have forgot how i did it, so could you refresh my memory. I need to change the link and image of the right side link. How can I do this?

Hi there,

It might be in "Appearance > Widgets" in the "Header" widget area.
