    hi

    I am just wondering how i can add the fb, instagram you tube and linked in icons to my home page and every other page. I have upgraded to the premium and so have them on the blg page.
    but i would like to have on all so people can link straight to my fb page and like it etc.
    I did add the basic one for Fb but it doesnt actually take you to the facebook it just has the symbol.

    hope you can help!

    Hi Chloe

    Good to hear from you.

    One option might be to use Jetpack Sharing: https://jetpack.me/support/sharing/. The module has several display location options that I’m sure you’ll find useful.

    If you haven’t already installed Jetpack then I recommend the following; after installing the plugin and linking it to your WordPress.com account, go to Jetpack > Settings and bulk deactivate all modules. Then, activate the Sharing module and any others you might like to use like Tiled Galleries and Carousel. That way you don’t have a bunch of activated modules that you didn’t choose to use.

    Let me know how that goes.

    the only thing is that it seems to have the sharing buttom but not the like option.
    I have the like option on the blog page but is it possible to have the like me on facebook link too to all pages and instagram?

    Glad to hear you’re making progress.

    Instagram
    From Jetpack > Settings > Sharing > Configure you can click Add a new service, assuming that you had an icon added to your Media Library for the service in question. The Add new service interface will ask for the icon’s URL.

    Facebook Like
    Unfortunately, we can’t use the above method to add Facebook Like as it’s more complex than just adding a link. Let me see what I can do with a child theme.

    Are you currently using a child theme? If not, I can bundle this up for you in one. If you are, we can add the Ultra social icons to pages by doing the following:

    One

    Add the following to our child theme functions.php file: https://pastebin.com/R4C3Wtyn

    Two

    Make a copy of content-page.php found in the Ultra parent folder and insert it into the Ultra child folder. Add the following directly under the start of entry-footer.

    <?php do_action( 'ultra_entry_main_bottom' ); ?>

    Final result:

    https://pastebin.com/KBuKHNfQ

    That’ll insert the Ultra share icons on pages too ??

    If you go to Appearance > Themes, does it say Ultra or Ultra Child?

    it is ultra premium

    Give the following child theme a try:

    https://purothemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/ultra-child-social-share-pages.zip

    Download the ZIP
    Install from Appearance > Themes > Add New: Upload ZIP > Activate

    When you activate a child theme in WordPress you will need to:

    Re-do Appearance > Menus > Menu Location settings
    Re-do Appearance > Customize settings

    What you can consider doing is to open Appearance > Customize > Theme Design in one tab and then install the child theme in another, that way you can manually copy those settings across, section by section.
