Missing Social Media Icon / Previous/Next Post tags

    Hi there!

    First of all thanks for this amazing free theme! It is so beautiful and easy to use:)

    My problem is the following: I want to insert an icon in the Social Media Menu for 500px.com, but the theme doesn’t seem to find the icon (instead showing the placeholder icon). I checked with Font Awesome and they do have the icon. What can I do to display the right icon instead of the placeholder?

    ALSO I would like to change the text displayed beneath a post “Previous Post”/”Next Post”, since I’m German and would like to name the buttons accordingly. Is there a way to change the texts?

    Thanks in advance!
    Cheers,
    Maria

    Hi Maria,
    Thanks for your kind comment about Morphology ??

    To add an icon that is not in the CSS, you will need to create some custom CSS code in one of three ways:

    1. Child theme – if you are using a child theme
    2. Jetpack – if you are using jetpack, it has it’s own Custom CSS feature
    3. Simple Custom CSS – is a plugin you can use (very popular)

    We will use the facebook icon CSS as an example, so the code you will enter in is:

    .social-icons a[href*="facebook.com"]:before {
	content: "\f09a";
}

    Change the domain part to the one you need, then change the f09a to the one you need.

    With regards to your other question, are you referring to changing the Previous Post and Next Post labels, or the post title that goes below those? For example, on the live demo site:

    https://demos.shapedpixels.com/morphology-lite/proin-viverra-venenatis-lorem-eu-pharetra/

    …are you referring to like the “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” part?

    Wow, that was fast! Thanks for your answer, I will try that immediately.
    For the second part: yes, I mean the labels. I would like to change them to German if possible:)

    EDIT: icon: check! Perfect, thank you so much!

    Fast hey ??

    Changing static text and labels in the theme requires a language translation file, which Morphology Lite has a .pot file that is ready to let someone create a translation file in their language. Many tutorials and even video youtube has tutorials, but you can use this as a starting point:
