Adding social icons to my navigation

  • Hey guys! I have a question: Can I get the social media buttons that you see on my sidebar into my navigation? It would be a good way to save space, and the blog would look even better. Of course I would have to shrink the icons, but what matters is that I would like to get them into the navigation.

  • You can try this. Make a backup of your theme files first. I say, make a backup first.

    Open header .php and find this:

    <ul class="fix">
			<li class="page_item "><a class="home" href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" title="Home"><img class="homeimage" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/home-icon-trans.png"/></a></li>
			<?php
				$frontpage_id = get_option('page_on_front');
				wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&exclude='.$frontpage_id.'&depth=1&title_li=');?>
		</ul>

    Change it to this:

    <ul class="fix">
			<li class="page_item "><a class="home" href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/" title="Home"><img class="homeimage" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/home-icon-trans.png"/></a></li>
			<?php
				$frontpage_id = get_option('page_on_front');
				wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&exclude='.$frontpage_id.'&depth=1&title_li=');?><li><a href="https://feeds.feedburner.com/laptopmemo"><img height="18" alt="LaptopMemo.com RSS Feed" src="https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2658/3928169685_282abd1932_o.png"/> </a></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/laptopmemo"><img height="18" border="0" width="18" title="" src="https://farm3.static.flickr.com/2504/3928951758_7cf3350420_o.png"/> </a></li><li><a href="https://facebook.com/stefan.etienne"><img height="18" border="0" width="18" src="https://farm4.static.flickr.com/3532/3928169659_324c7a768f_o.png"/> </a></li><li><a href="https://es.technorati.com/blogs/laptopmemo.com"><img height="18" border="0" width="18" title="" src="https://mysocialbuttons.com/socialicons/technorati.png"/></a></li>
		</ul>

    Exactly. Did I mention making a backup? This placed all of your icons, in size 18×18, directly to the right of existing pages in the header nav. It worked perfectly on my test site. Your mileage may vary. Good luck!

    AND MAKE A BACKUP FIRST! ??
