Social icons missing in header but present in off canvas menu
9 replies · Started by Larrian on September 1, 2021
I just discovered the social icons are now missing from the desktop version of my site…thyroidhairandskincareproducts.com.they show up in the off canvas for mobile….is there a way to make them show up again on the far right? I tried adding an icon block into the archive element but it locates the block on the far left, which puts it under the logo image and therefore not seen. I have the category description showing which has eliminated the social icons in desktop.
Thanks again.
Hi Larrian,
Can you go to appearance > widgets, and check if the lightweight social icons widget has been removed from the Header area?
If so, you can add it back to the Header area.

They are there and on the right.
I'm confused as I don't see any social icons in the header on desktop:

I assume the social icons you are referring to is the ones come with Dispatch template:

Let me know if I miss anything.
There are none showing in the header on desktop but they DO show on the right in the mobile off canvas. HOpe that clarifies things...its missing in desktop. In the widget for header they are there but don't show up in the header.
The widget in header doesn't look likelightweight social icons widget.
Can you take a screenshot of Appearance > Widgets?
You can use this method to upload screenshot:

This is not the lightweight social icons, but it should work as well.
Try add address to the social icons, otherwise they are just empty elements, that's why they don't show on front end.
Let me know if you need further assistance :)
I found the lightweight option, installed that and they are now showing.
Thanks for the great support. This is the best support I have found from Any theme company and you have made me a follower of genereatepress for all my other sites.
I'm very glad reading your comment!
