• I have recently uploaded some social media icons to my site through filezilla. I do not know how to follow these directions for using my custom icons:

    5. Enter the URL to the icon pack folder (https://www.yoursite.com/blog/wp-content/icons)
    6. Enter the FULL PATH to the icon pack folder (/var/www/html/yoursite/blog/wp-content/icons)

    Where do I find these URL’s? What is the FULL PATH?

    Any help is much appreciated! Thanks!

  • Dude. I am trying to solve the exact same problem, for probably the exact same reason.

    Will let you know if I find anything out on the interwebs.

    Peace

    Just sent an email to the developer. We’ll see what happens next!

    Make sure your icons are named properly. For example:

    facebook.png
    twitter.png
    linkedin.png

    They have to be named exactly like that or the custom icons will not work.

    To get your Path add the following to your theme’s header.php file:

    <?php echo __FILE__; ?>

    This will give you a path to your theme.. it’ll be something like /var/www/html/yoursite/wp-content/etc/etc/ect….

    Copy everything up to wp-content then change everything after it to the directory you uploaded your icons to…

    For example, if you uploaded your icons to wp-content/my-icons you put /path/to/your/wp-content/icons

    The URL is the URL to your blog and then you add (using the same information as above) https://www.yourblogurl.com/wp-content/my-icons

    Once you get the widget working, go ahead and delete the line of code from your header.php file.

    Not to be rude, but I also state in my readme that if you don’t know what a path is, or how you can find the URL to a folder you create that the custom icon area are probably not for you.

    Thanks Brian,

    I’ll give this a go!

    Cheers,

    I’m fairly certain we want to learn about these things with www.ads-software.com instead of being on simple wordpress.com.
    The initial poster was reaching out to the community.
    I appreciate you responding to the post but I found it rude that you would make that remark to someone that would like to learn on the forum and not bombard you with emails.
