Whenever I try to add icon code to my site, whether in the functions.php (as per https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/login-button-next-to-social-media-buttons/) or in the menu item title field (as per https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/adding-icon-in-top-menu/) nothing is output.

For example:
I’m trying to add a login icon to the top bar, where the social media icons would be. I’ve edited my child theme functions.php with the instructions (above) but when I add in anything, even when I copy something that’s there already, I don’t get an icon showing up.

Why is that?

I’ve attached the code that I’m trying to use.

Thanks!

You can see the place where the icon should show here: http://www.screencast.com/t/AliJfiq7Mp

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in.

Please replace the code for the social-icons that can be found here.

From

if ( $facebook ) : $output .= '<a href="' . $facebook . '" class="facebook" title="Facebook" target="_blank"><i class="x-social-facebook"></i></a>'; endif;

To

if ( $facebook ) : $output .= '<a href="' . $facebook . '" class="facebook" title="Facebook" target="_blank"><i class="x-icon-facebook-square" data-x-icon="" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>'; endif;

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

OK, great. I was able to figure it out with that help. It was the “data-x-icon” part that I was missing.

Glad you were able to figure it out 🙂
