– Add pinterest to the social links top right menu. You can do as the following:
1. open the header.php file, find & remove the line 32 to line 69, then add new code below:

<?php  
$facebook = dw_get_theme_option('facebook_link');
$twitter = dw_get_theme_option('twitter_link');
$instagram = dw_get_theme_option('instagram_link');
$youtube = dw_get_theme_option('youtube_link');
$gplus = dw_get_theme_option('google_plus_link');
$linkedin = dw_get_theme_option('linkedin_link');
$flickr = dw_get_theme_option('flickr_link');
$pinterest= dw_get_theme_option('pinterest_link');
if( $facebook || $youtube || $gplus || $linkedin || $flickr || $instagram || $twitter || $pinterest  ) :
?>
<div class="social-link">
  <ul>
  <?php if( $facebook ) : ?>
  <li id="facebook_link"><a href="<?php echo $facebook ?>" class="facebook"><i class="icon-facebook"></i></a></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if( $twitter ) : ?>
  <li id="twitter_link"><a href="<?php echo $twitter ?>" class="twitter"><i class="icon-twitter"></i></a></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if( $instagram ) : ?>
  <li id="instagram_link"><a href="<?php echo $instagram ?>" class="instagram"><i class="icon-instagram"></i></a></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if( $youtube ) : ?>
  <li id="youtube_link"><a href="<?php echo $youtube ?>" class="youtube"><i class="icon-youtube"></i></a></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if( $gplus ) : ?>
  <li id="google_plus_link"><a href="<?php echo $gplus ?>" class="google-plus"><i class="icon-google-plus"></i></a></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if( $linkedin ) : ?>
  <li id="linkdedin_link"><a href="<?php echo $linkedin ?>" class="linkedin"><i class="icon-linkedin"></i></a></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if( $flickr ) : ?>
  <li id="flickr_link"><a href="<?php echo $flickr ?>" class="flickr"><i class="icon-flickr"></i></a></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
  <?php if( $pinterest ) : ?>
  <li id="pinterest_link"><a href="<?php echo $pinterest ?>" class="pinterest"><i class="icon-pinterest"></i></a></li>
  <?php endif; ?>
  </ul>

2. Open the theme-customization.php file in the folder path “\wp-content\themes\dw-fixel\inc“. Add the following code under line 133.
  

//pinterest
     $wp_customize->add_setting('dw_general_options[pinterest_link]', array(
        'default'        => '',
        'capability'     => 'edit_theme_options',
        'type'           => 'option',
        'transport' => 'postMessage'
    ));
    $wp_customize->add_control('dw_general_options_pinterest_link', array(
        'label'      => __('Pinterest link', DW_TEXTDOMAIN),
        'section'    => 'dw_general_settings',
        'settings'   => 'dw_general_options[pinterest_link]',
        'type'       => 'text'
    ));

3. Log in to Dashboard > Customize > General Settings, then add the Pinterest link.
Hope this helps !

Hi Raj,
To resolve the issue, you can open up the header.php file in themes/dw-fixel folder, find the code below:

<?php if( $flickr ) : ?>
<li id="flickr_link"><a href="<?php echo $flickr ?>" class="flickr"><i class="icon-flickr"></i></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

… and change it into this:

<?php if( $flickr ) : ?>
<li id="flickr_link"><a href="<?php echo $flickr ?>" class="flickr"><i class="icon-flickr"></i></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>
<li id="pinterest_link"><a href="#link_to_your_pinterest" class="pinterest"><i class="icon-pinterest"></i></a></li>

Then, go to Dashboard > Appearances > Customize > Custom Code, and add the following code to Header Code section:

<style>
.social-link li:hover a.pinterest {
background-color: #cb2027;
}
</style>

Hope this helps!

Hi – thats great, the icon is there BUT I cannot change the link info.
I have gone to Appearance>Customise>General and added the url but its not changing the link which when clicked points to http://theretailroom.co.uk/#link_to_your_pinterest.

Could you please give me an idea where this should be changed?
Cheers

Hi again – I’ve just tested the pinterest link by adding it to the linkedin icon – this does go to the right pinterest page. Seems there is a problem with the code that controls the pinterest icon. If you could please have a look and help!

Hi!

In the code above (header.php file), just change the sample link (#link_to_your_pinterest) to your actual link.

Also, we are working on the updated version of this theme (include printerest link added), maybe we’ll release it on this weekend, so stay tuned!

Cheers
