Hello,
I need to append a Yelp icon to the social section in the header. What’s the best way to accomplish this?
Thank you.
Hi There,
Thanks for writing in! Because what you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would highly to suggest that you use a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.
After the child theme is set up, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file
// Social Output
// =============================================================================
if ( ! function_exists( 'x_social_global' ) ) :
function x_social_global() {
$facebook = x_get_option( 'x_social_facebook' );
$twitter = x_get_option( 'x_social_twitter' );
$google_plus = x_get_option( 'x_social_googleplus' );
$linkedin = x_get_option( 'x_social_linkedin' );
$xing = x_get_option( 'x_social_xing' );
$foursquare = x_get_option( 'x_social_foursquare' );
$youtube = x_get_option( 'x_social_youtube' );
$vimeo = x_get_option( 'x_social_vimeo' );
$instagram = x_get_option( 'x_social_instagram' );

$soundcloud = x_get_option( 'x_social_soundcloud' );
$rss = x_get_option( 'x_social_rss' );

echo $output;
}
endif;
Please do not forget to replace and insert the actual yelp link: http://yelp.com/your-profile-here
Thank you so much! Worked perfectly, you guys rock!
You’re welcome.
I tried this and the icons have been deleted. Is there anyway to fix that?
Hi @tadbeavers,
Please keep in mind that this is an old code and it might not work with the latest version of WordPress and PHP. I just check your account and you have a Pro license. With that said, I suggest that you create a custom header using the header builder then design your social header using Social Element, you can check the resource below.

Hope that helps.
Thank you.
