Social buttons

    Hello everyone,

    This is the last post for today, I promise…

    I was wondering if there is a way to make the social buttons (widget footer area) bigger?

    Also, is it possible to have the social buttons appear at the top of the page as well? Either on the far top right corner (next to the menu), or immediately underneath the header on the right.

    If it’s not possible, I would probably install a plugin to get the social links where I need them to go, but I’m trying to avoid having to install too many plugins if there’s a way around it.

    Thank you in advance for your help. ??

    I really appreciate it.

    Bettina

  • Hi Bettina,

    Argent doesn’t have a built in location for the social buttons to appear at the top. However, you can add icons to your top menu.

    There’s a guide on this article towards the end that explains how to do it without any plugins. Just look for the orange heading in the article called Adding Images To Navigation Menus Manually with CSS. When you do that, you can also control the size of the icons.

    If you just want to change the size of the icons in the widget you have, you can add this to your Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS area:

    /* Change social media widget icon size */

.widget_wpcom_social_media_icons_widget a {
    font-size: 1.6rem;
}

    In that code, change the 1.6 to a larger number to make the icons increase in size.

    Hi David,

    Thank you so much for the info and the CSS ?? I made the icons in the widget area bigger and they look great now.

    I’m still playing around with the icons for the top of my menu, so I’ll see how I go.

    Thanks again for your help! ??
