Display Social Icons Manually i the Navbar
3 replies · Started by Oriol on March 23, 2021
Hello,
I've checked our article about how to display social icons in the navbar, using Font Awesome icons, but I've seen that it requires installing the FA plugin.
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-icons-to-menu-items/
If there any way to add social icons manually, with svg images I've downloaded for myself, just setting the url manually?
I've been trying to add the on the navigation label field, but it does not display.
Could you help with that?
Thank you so much!
Hi there,
you can use the FA plugin - there is an option in the settings that sets them to SVG - so instead of loading the entire FA font library it just outputs the inline SVG where its used.
If not then you would need to download the icon, and open it in an IDE or text editor. Copy the SVG HTML and add it to the Menu Item label.
Okay, thanks so much, I do it this way!
Glad to be of help!
