Icon not displaying properly on Genesis Backcountry child theme

Hi, richardpd!

It looks like the site at accidentaldiscovery.co.uk is using the Green color variant of the theme, which includes some styles that are overriding the background images on your footer icons.

You can fix that by adding this CSS to your theme code, or via a custom CSS plugin:

.simple-social-icons a {
	background-image: none !important;
}

Hi Nick
Thanks for your helpful reply.
Adding this css code to Backcountry stylesheet has fixed this indeed.
Strange that the different colour style for green has done this.
Why couldn’t the different colour theme simply be a matter of changing the style hex colour code. Nevermind it’s of no great matter.

This is unrelated, but I don’t suppose you might know why “Leave comment” box is not displaying after the post on the site?
Again this works on the other site but not with accidentaldiscovery.co.uk and I cannot understand why not?

Best wishes

You’re welcome! Sorry for the trouble with the icons.

For the “leave a comment” prompt, comment forms don’t appear on the homepage or category pages, but I do see a comment form on individual posts such as https://accidentaldiscovery.co.uk/if-you-always-do-2/, so it looks like you’re all set there.

If you need further help with theme tweaks, you’re very welcome to post in the StudioPress forums.

Hi Nick
Thanks again for your helpful reply about the “Leave comment” box/form.
I didn’t realise it wouldn’t work on a default home page. I guess I could always makeup a custom homepage template and make that a static homepage.
I don’t think anyone else knows this on the StudioPress forum as I posted for help with this there but didn’t get a correct answer (quite frustrating but all is good now I know why it wasn’t working and it does work on the post page as you said).
Many thanks for your fine help.
Best wishes

You’re very welcome! Glad I could help.
