[Resolved] Social icons

[Michael Julson]

Can you explain how you added the twitter, Facebook, and shopping cart icons to your menu bar the GP homepage? I like that style.

Also, do you recommend a particular social plugin (such as charters, add this, etc..) that works well with GP for liking posts, products, etc..?

This thread explains how to get social icons in your navigation: http://generatepress.com/forums/topic/social-networks-buttons-on-nav-menu-bar/

The above plugin (thanks, Silvio!) is useful for showing icons in your widgets.

To show share buttons, there’s lots of options. This post goes over some of them: http://wpchronicles.com/best-wordpress-social-sharing-plugins/

Hope this helps 🙂

Is there a way to turn off the “nofollow” option from the Lightweight Social Icon plugin?

Hi there,

you can use this PHP snippet to change the rel attributes value:

add_filter( 'lsi_icon_rel_attribute', function() {
    return 'follow';
} );

Great. Thanks for your help!

One more question. Any idea how I can get the social icons to be inline with the rest of the links in my footer? Right now, it looks a little disjointed. https://www.psychics4today.com (footer bar)

Hi there,

try this CSS:

@media (max-width: 768px) {
    .lsi-social-icons {
        text-align: center !important;
    }
}

@media (min-width: 769px) {
    .inside-site-info {
        display: flex;
    }

    .footer-bar {
        order: 10;
        margin-left: auto;
    }

    .footer-bar-align-center .copyright-bar {
        text-align: left;
    }
}
