Good afternoon,

Can you please tell me how to add three icons in between the picture and the word “Summary” on http://www.joshuaweatherstone.com?

I would like to add a phone, envelope, and linkedin icon in a row in this space: http://prnt.sc/dj1euk. Each will link off the site.

Thanks!

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released.

On your child theme navigate to this directory: \x-child\framework\views\global\ there create a file named _navbar.php and paste the code below on it.

<?php

// =============================================================================
// VIEWS/GLOBAL/_NAVBAR.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Outputs the navbar.
// =============================================================================

$navbar_position = x_get_navbar_positioning();
$logo_nav_layout = x_get_logo_navigation_layout();
$is_one_page_nav = x_is_one_page_navigation();

?>

<?php if ( ( $navbar_position == 'static-top' || $navbar_position == 'fixed-top' || $is_one_page_nav ) && $logo_nav_layout == 'stacked' ) : ?>

  <div class="x-logobar">
    <div class="x-logobar-inner">
      <div class="x-container max width">
        <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_brand' ); ?>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="x-navbar-wrap">
    <div class="<?php x_navbar_class(); ?>">
      <div class="x-navbar-inner">
        <div class="x-container max width">
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_nav', 'primary' ); ?>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

<?php else : ?>

  <div class="x-navbar-wrap">
    <div class="<?php x_navbar_class(); ?>">
      <div class="x-navbar-inner">
        <div class="x-container max width">
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_brand' ); ?>
          <?php x_social_global(); ?>
          <?php x_get_view( 'global', '_nav', 'primary' ); ?>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>

<?php endif; ?>

Add your social media profile URL on Customizer > Social.

Then add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer to center the icons.

.x-navbar-wrap .x-social-global {text-align: center;}
.x-navbar-wrap .x-social-global a {padding: 20px 10px 0;}

Hope it helps, Cheers!

Hello,

I finally got around to attempting the above, but it unfortunately did not work.

Thoughts?

Hi There,

I did go ahead and install the x-child theme on your site (not the x-child-integrity-light you can delete that)

Then I created the file _navbar.php I’m talking about above. You can see that on this directory: /public_html/wp-content/themes/x-child/framework/views/global/.

You can now add your social media profile URL on Customizer > Social.

Hope it helps, Cheers!

Hello,

Thanks so much for your help! I really appreciate it.

Is it possible to add a phone icon and an envelope icon to the left of it?

Hi There,

Please add the following code under functions.php file locates in your child theme:

  $output .= '</div>';

  echo $output;

}

You can replace the 123456789 number and [email protected] with your mobile number and email.

Hope it helps 🙂

Hello,

I was able to add the code and insert my number and email where you suggested, but unfortunately the icons still aren’t showing up. 🙁

Hello Josh,

When I visit the content of your child theme’s functions.php file, the code is not added. Did you remove it?

[JW & Co.]

I was able to get it to work.

Thanks for the follow-up.

[Prasant Rai]

Happy to hear that. Feel free to ask us again. Have a great day! 🙂
