Social links

  • I recently moved a site and updated to the latest version of Hueman. The social links no longer has the option to enter an fa-value but you need to choose from a list. The list is good but doesn’t have every social site. I want to enter fa-star as the value, where could I do that?

  • Hi ray. Welcome to the Hueman forum. Although you can’t enter the icon value manually you can overwrite an existing icon using CSS. If you have a social icon with a title of “My Star” (doesn’t matter which icon you select), add this CSS to a child theme style.css file or use a plugin like https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/simple-css/ or https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/simple-custom-css/:

    /* hide existing icon */
.social-links a[Title="My Star"] i {
    visibility: hidden;
    position: relative;
}
/* replace with alternate star icon */
.social-links a[Title="My Star"] i:after  {
    visibility: visible;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    content: "\f005";
}

    Thanks that works and I can change the icon but how about the alt text? That remains the original icons.
    I do like this theme and have used it a lot since it came out.

    Sorry now I’m with you, understand.

    If that solved your issue and you don’t have any further questions here, please mark the topic as Resolved. Thanks.
