[Support request] Slideout Template – Social Icon Issue

[Shelley]

Hi. I’m using the social icon issue on my website https://trade-options.com. I want to update the icons on the bottom left to show a link to my Stocktwits profile and Youtube channel instead of Instagram and Twitter. I tried to update, but wasn’t sure where to upload the images for the icons. Now its showing all words instead of icons, even for FB. How can I update these?

Hi Shelley,

It seems to be added manually through Appearance > Menus. To clarify, how did you previously add the menu Social icons?

[Shelley]

They were already part of the template provided by Generatepress. The template is called Slideout. I didn’t see a place under the Menus to add the icon.

I see. Thank you for clarifying.

One approach is to create a Block Element – Hook. Hook it to after_primary_menu.

In this Block Element, add a GenerateBlocks Buttons Block, and add your icon – links there. For reference, here’s a video showing how to add Social Icons in an Element.

Then, add this in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

div#primary-menu {
    display: none;
}
