How to add social icons

General HivePress

Hello,

I am trying to add simple fa icons to the social menu, so that each social account has its icon on it, I am trying to add it with the usual:

<i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i> LinkedIn

But the icon does not appear, any idea why as I can see some fa icons work fine but not the social ones for some reason?

Hi,

If you add this icon to the attribute’s display format, then yes, they may not be displayed because they are not available in the connected icon libraries. There are two workarounds for this:

  1. Connect the font set where these icons are available, but note that this will require a custom implementation. Also, as an additional option, you can automatically connect the library using a third-party plugin; you can search for them on wordpress.org; there may be some.

  2. You can purchase the Social Links extension, which provides this functionality in a few clicks: Social Links - Add social links to listings | HivePress Extensions

​I hope this is helpful to you.
