Genericons are not working anymore

  • [ Moderator note: moved to Fixing WordPress. ]

    Hey,
    I used Genericons Social Logos on my page (the classic ones) and now there not working any more, because there was an updated to the genericon plugin. Now I don’t know how to get them to work again. It’s quite a while that I setted up the old ones.

    Also I used some customized CSS on the social logos. I think the basic problem is that I need to link to the new social logos, but cannot figute out how to do it. On the genericons page I only find the classes/links to the icons but not to the social logos. Does someone of you has a link to them or can help to get it working again?

    Regards,
    Michael

  • Hi michaeltaube,

    I suppose the plugin has been updated to use svg instead of the font, so if you still want to use it the old way(classic) then you need to download the genericons file, place the folder in your theme folder and then enqueue the genericons.css file as mentioned in the plugin.

    Thanks for your reply. I don’t want to use the classic font if SVG will work on my site. Can you tell me how to get Social Logos working with SVG?

    If you have the latest version of the plugin(genericons’d) then you need to write shortcodes to display the icon via SVG.

    Twitter Example:
    [genericon icon=twitter]

    Thank you again. This works. How can I set up my own CSS classes to modify the icons in size in color if I use shortcodes? How can I set up the links to my socialprofiles?

    @michaeltaube

    There are various similar question asked in the plugin’s FAQ’s, I am sure you will find your answer there.

    And I believe to add the links you should write the code as below.
    <a href="your link"> [genericon icon=twitter] </a>
