    I used font awesome to create social media icons and placed them in the footer of my site- it worked for a few days but now the icons are squeezed together (even though they are formatted in columns) and are black instead of the orange color I have specified for links, buttons, etc. in the site. On this homepage you can see the correct placement and color of the icons, and then in the footer they are wrong- however the code is exactly the same in both place. Help please?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Well as I have told you before if you want to have single rows you have to right some custom CSS.
    Have a look here
    https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-make-footer-section-one-box/

    And try adding:

    .footer-widget.widget-1{width:100%;}
    .footer-widget.widget-2{width:100%;}
    .footer-widget.widget-3{width:100%;}
    .footer-widget.widget-4{width:100%;}

    That’s not what I want, they should all be in a single row but just with space in between- not pushed up against each other- they are formatted via html in a 3 column structure that should be centered, just as the orange social icons on the homepage (I just want them in the footer so they appear on every page). It was working at first but then suddenly changed to be pushed together and aligned left. They also should be orange, not black… I have set link and text color in the footer to the correct color but they remain black. Here is the code I am using (again, it looks correct on any page but when put into the footer widget it is messed up)

    <div>
    <div class=”csRow”>
    <div class=”csColumnGap” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 23.4%;”></div>
    <div class=”csColumn” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 15.6%;” data-csstartpoint=”225″ data-csendpoint=”375″ data-cswidth=”15.6%” data-csid=”6fb20e40-e73a-84ff-a47a-d88170d3b286″>
    <h2 style=”text-align: center; font-size: 60px; color: #f39200;”>[icon name=”facebook-square”]</h2>
    <p style=”text-align: center;”> </p>

    </div>
    <div class=”csColumnGap” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 3.13%; text-align: center;”></div>
    <div class=”csColumn” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 15.6%; text-align: center;” data-csstartpoint=”405″ data-csendpoint=”555″ data-cswidth=”15.6%” data-csid=”9d047a9c-8214-a370-b086-3caa734060d7″>
    <h2 style=”text-align: center; font-size: 60px;”>[icon name=”instagram”]</h2>
    </div>
    <div class=”csColumnGap” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 3.13%; text-align: center;”></div>
    <div class=”csColumn” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 15.6%;” data-csstartpoint=”585″ data-csendpoint=”735″ data-cswidth=”15.6%” data-csid=”deec363f-4ca2-0da5-a4c3-f84976823986″>
    <h2 style=”text-align: center; font-size: 60px;”>[icon name=”twitter-square”]</h2>
    </div>
    <div class=”csColumnGap” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 23.4%;”></div>
    <div style=”clear: both; float: none; display: block; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; font-size: 0px; line-height: 0;”> </div>
    </div>
    </div>

    I know what you would like to see. However this is not supported by the theme natively. You can use the code above however if you want to have the items using the full row you have to add the css I added.
    You want something like this right?

    Yes, apologies I was confused. Is there a reason they are not showing up the proper color that is set in theme footer, header and the code? #f39200

    Thank you for your help

    Theme Author Archimidis Mertzanos

    (@archimidism)

    Well the reason is that the styling customizer – the plugin that comes with the theme- works only for the theme elements.
    So if you want to change the color for the social icons you have to add CSS.

    thank you, would you be able to help me with that? I am new to css and the code I’m typing in is not working ??

    Theme Author Archimidis Mertzanos

    (@archimidism)

    Ok tell me exactly which elements would you like to change their colors. And what are your colors?

    Thread Starter bonnieg77

    (@bonnieg77)

    Just the social icons need to change to color #f39200- everything else in that footer section is appearing the correct colors as specified in the customizer. Thank you!

    Theme Author Archimidis Mertzanos

    (@archimidism)

    Ok,
    please try the following:

    .csColumn a fa{color: #f39200 !important;}

    Thread Starter bonnieg77

    (@bonnieg77)

    I’m sorry, that is not working… I think maybe because the .csColumn is referencing the column structure rather than the content? I don’t know. But I also don’t know why the icons are black when everything else in that footer section is orange (text and such). Sorry I am at a loss ??

    Theme Author Archimidis Mertzanos

    (@archimidism)

    You have to reference the content class to target these black icons. However can you add a css class or an id with the plugin you are using to create the rows with icons?

    Thread Starter bonnieg77

    (@bonnieg77)

    I honestly have no idea… the plugin creates columns within the editor just via html code as far as I know… I don’t know where I’d put the ID but I will try and figure it out

    I just tried editing the widget’s html code and added <div class=”icons”>

    Then custom CSS
    .icons{
    color: #f39200 !important;}

    It did not work.
    Is there something better to try?

    Now the widget’s code looks like below, but I am still confused why the px size of the icons I specified in html is working but not the color I specified?

     
    <div>
    <div class=”icons”>
    <div class=”csRow”>
    <div class=”csColumnGap” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 23.4%;”></div>
    <div class=”csColumn” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 15.6%;” data-csstartpoint=”225″ data-csendpoint=”375″ data-cswidth=”15.6%” data-csid=”6fb20e40-e73a-84ff-a47a-d88170d3b286″>
    <h2 style=”text-align: center; font-size: 60px; color: #f39200;”>[icon name=”facebook-square”]</h2>
    <p style=”text-align: center;”> </p>

    </div>
    <div class=”csColumnGap” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 3.13%; text-align: center;”></div>
    <div class=”csColumn” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 15.6%; text-align: center;” data-csstartpoint=”405″ data-csendpoint=”555″ data-cswidth=”15.6%” data-csid=”9d047a9c-8214-a370-b086-3caa734060d7″>
    <h2 style=”text-align: center; font-size: 60px;”>[icon name=”instagram”]</h2>
    </div>
    <div class=”csColumnGap” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 3.13%; text-align: center;”></div>
    <div class=”csColumn” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 15.6%;” data-csstartpoint=”585″ data-csendpoint=”735″ data-cswidth=”15.6%” data-csid=”deec363f-4ca2-0da5-a4c3-f84976823986″>
    <h2 style=”text-align: center; font-size: 60px;”>[icon name=”twitter-square”]</h2>
    </div>
    <div class=”csColumnGap” style=”margin: 0px; padding: 0px; float: left; width: 23.4%;”></div>
    <div style=”clear: both; float: none; display: block; visibility: hidden; width: 0px; font-size: 0px; line-height: 0;”> </div>
    </div>
    </div>
    </div>

    Well maybe try this one and leave it maybe I could see the code changes.

    .csColumn h2 a {color: #f39200 !important;}
