Website icon (or custom icon)?

    Hi, great plugin so far — but how do we add an icon for the author’s website? There are no icons in the list that might work for this, nor is there an option to add a custom one.
    The author’s website is defined in the user’s profile but that field is not displayed by this plugin.

    Also, REQUEST: Add custom icon by inserting name of fontawesome icon. This should not be too hard to implement — add an item to the dropdown for “custom” which displays a text input for the fontawesome icon name. Then we could add links to just about anything, instead of the limited list which this plugin offers.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    To clarify — I know we can display the website by toggling the “show website” switch, but this displays the link as text instead of as an icon. We’d like it to be an icon to match the others. Thank you!

    Hello @etellewyn,

    Thank you for reaching out to us and for your feedback.
    I have created a ticket with our development team about this so they can take a look and implement this in a future update.

    What icon would you want for the author’s website? I can send you a custom CSS code to replace it with the one you want.

    Looking forward to your reply!

    All the best,
    Mihaela

    Hi, thank you so much for your fast response. The website icon we’d want to use would probably just be fa-home. (I currently have it set to “wordpress”)
    Is this plugin on GitHub? I didn’t see it on there but maybe I missed it. I thought I might do a pull request.

    Hello @etellewyn,

    I apologize for the delayed response!
    Please add the following code in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:

    .saboxplugin-socials .saboxplugin-icon-color.saboxplugin-icon-wordpress::before, .saboxplugin-socials .saboxplugin-icon-grey.saboxplugin-icon-wordpress::before {
    content: '\f015';
}

    This will change the WP icon to the home one.
    Please give it a try and let me know how it goes!
    Regarding GitHub, here is the url: https://github.com/MachoThemes/simple-author-box

    Best wishes,
    Mihaela
