Is there a way to add an Instagram and Pinterest or any other social icon to that bar?
Thanks so much!
If you want to add the Instagram and Pinterest or any other social icon to that bar, you can do as the following:
1. Open the extras.php file in the folder path “\wp-content\themes\dw-minion\inc”. find the line 246, add the following code under line 246.
$social_links['instagram'] = dw_minion_get_theme_option( 'instagram', '' );
$social_links['pinterest '] = dw_minion_get_theme_option( 'pinterest ', '' );
– Find the line 270, add the following code under line 270:
<?php if($social_links['instagram']!='') { ?><li class="social"><a href="<?php echo $social_links['instagram']; ?>"><i class="icon-instagram"></i></a></li><?php } ?>
<?php if($social_links['pinterest']!='') { ?><li class="social"><a href="<?php echo $social_links['pinterest']; ?>"><i class="icon-pinterest"></i></a></li><?php } ?>
2. Open the customizer.php file in the folder path “”. Find the line 237, add the following code under line 237.
/*********instagram************/
$wp_customize->add_setting('dw_minion_theme_options[instagram]', array(
'default' => '',
'capability' => 'edit_theme_options',
'type' => 'option',
));
$wp_customize->add_control('instagram', array(
'label' => __('instagram', 'dw-minion'),
'section' => 'dw_minion_social_links',
'settings' => 'dw_minion_theme_options[instagram]',
));
/*********pinterest************/
$wp_customize->add_setting('dw_minion_theme_options[pinterest]', array(
'default' => '',
'capability' => 'edit_theme_options',
'type' => 'option',
));
$wp_customize->add_control('pinterest', array(
'label' => __('pinterest', 'dw-minion'),
'section' => 'dw_minion_social_links',
'settings' => 'dw_minion_theme_options[pinterest]',
));
3. Log in to Dashboard > Customize > Social Links, then add your link to text-box.
Hope this helps !
Wow! Awesome! Thank you so much. I will be trying this tonight. I love this theme!
I wanted to add a little more reference for anybody else who is trying to do this: it works without images/styles because the icons are from Font Awesome which is already embedded in the stylesheet. Neat! If you want to add a social media link for a site that’s NOT already in there, you may need to add something like this to main.css:
.icon-yoursite:before { content: “\f15c”; }
You can find the codes (that fxxx number) for available icons at https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/3.2.1/
