How can I add social icons like the ones on the generators nav bar??
This should help: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/adding-icons-to-menu-items/
I also need to add social icons to my nav bar. I followed the instructions you provided here. The problem is I see the link but I don't see the icon. Also when I add another social media icon next to the other one I see a blank space but not the link and the icon.
Make sure the load essential CSS option is not checked here: https://docs.generatepress.com/article/load-essentials-icons/
If that's not the problem, try disable all non-GP plugins.
Hi Leo thank you for your reply. CSS option was checked. That was the problem. As you can see below Twitter icon doesn't show up properly. Is it Font Awesome or GP?
Thank you.
If that option is unchecked, the Twitter icon should display.
What's the HTML you're using to display the icon?
Hello guys I am having the same problem as abacus, I turned off the CSS option but it still not showing
What's the HTML you are using?
Can you link us to the your site?
<i class="fas fa-envelope-square"></i>
<i class="fab fa-facebook"></i>
and 3 others all on the secondary nav bar
I believe the new version caused it, on my old site I used the same icons and I had no problems
Can you try #1 here to eliminate plugin conflict first?

Let me know :)
i can confirm that it still does not work without plugins
Can you try prefix fa instead of fas and fab?
Hi Leo,
that works! Thank you so much!
No problem :)
