Hi,
I have reviewed several posts about this same topic, but nothing is working for me yet… My social icons in the TopBar of my site seem to have disappeared. All of my links are still there and functioning, but you can’t see the icons.
Please help!

Hi there,
This is because the that displays your social icons in the functions.php is not updated. The icon update was introduced in the recent version.
You can find more information about the font update here:
It is under the FAQ: Why are some of my icons are appearing as an empty square?
So kindly update this block of code in your child theme’s functions.php file
if ( ! function_exists( 'x_social_global' ) ) :

Hope this helps.
Thought that was the piece of code I tried earlier, but it worked this time! Can you please remind me of where I can change the color of the icons? I changed the color of the TopBar text but it didn’t change the icon color.
Thanks for your help today!
Hello There,
The topbar text color is set by a custom css. If you want to change the social icons as well, you can update the css code and use this:
header .x-topbar .p-info,
.x-topbar .x-social-global a {
color: #ffffff;
}
Please let us know if this works out for you.
That did the trick! Thank you!
You are most welcome.
