Enable right side panel and social icons
3 replies · Started by Toivo on April 1, 2020
Hello
I'm building my new webpage. I bought Pro version.
1. How I enable Lightweight Social Icons if the template that I choose doesn't have them pre-installed. I want them to the top of the page, under the main menu.
2. Is it possible to add some kind of testimonials rotator to the main page right-side panel (currently there is no side panel).
Thank you!
Hi there,
1. You'd need to install the plugin first:

Placement underneath the main menu would be a little tricky as there are no widget areas there.
You could use this plugin to turn the social icon widget into shortcode:

Then add it in using the inside_navigation hook in hooks elements:

2. You can choose a sidebar layout in the customizer:

Then find the desired rotator plugin to generate the content and use the sidebar widget area.
Let me know if this helps :)
