Author Theme – Social Icon

Thanks for using Author!

Sure, I can have an IMDB icon added in the next update.

Thank you, when do you plan on releasing another update? Thanks

We cycle through our 15 themes for updates and since Author was updated recently, so we may not get to it again for a few more weeks.

Okay fantastic thank you

Sure thing!

You can add an external link to your menu for IMDB until the icon is available: https://www.competethemes.com/blog/add-external-link-wordpress-menu/

Hey Ben,

I’m not sure if this can be done. But worth a ask, I think it would be cool to show on the social icons. If the social media site has blue checkmark on it, it would show on the icon on the site, like on the lower right of the social ico.

Do you know what I mean?

Hope it makes sense

I think I understand. As an example, a verified Twitter account would get a blue checkmark?

Correct,

So Social Icon on my website, would feature the logo, but if the social account linked to it has blue checkmark it should show on the website beside or overlaying the social icon, if I see an example ill point you too it ??

Okay got it. I can put this into the roadmap for a future update. I will most likely add a checkbox into the settings that you can select to enable the verified icon on top of Twitter.

Yeah, something like that

Version 1.44 has just been released and includes an IMDB icon and an option to display the verified checkmark over the Twitter icon.

Hey Ben, yes i appreciate it, it looks so good, can you add the checkmark to facebook and Instagram also please on the next uodate

Sure, I can have those added too.

@bensibley I hate to be a pest, but since I learned about your theme over at my go-to writer’s website, vocal.media is it possible to have their social media icon added too? For a workaround, I added them to my website as a custom link, but the icon is larger than the other social media icons which takes away from the appearance. I installed your theme over the weekend and I’m still learning all the nuances (I bought the pro version) and so far, I love it. I never thought writing would be easier on WordPress but you have proven me wrong.

Thanks for the kind words about Author ??

When adding it as a custom icon, there is a setting below the image where you can edit the size. Have you tried using that to reduce the size of the custom icon? If you link me to the site I can come up with a CSS snippet to resize it as well.
