Hi i tried using the code below to add the tripadvisor icon to my footer. I saw it in a thread before the problem is only my actual social icons are showing (facebook + instagram).

Did I do something wrong?

// Social Output

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_social_global' ) ) :
  function x_social_global() {

    $facebook    = x_get_option( 'x_social_facebook', 'https://www.tripadvisor.com.pe/' );
    $twitter     = x_get_option( 'x_social_twitter', '' );

Hey there,

Thanks for writing in! Let’s use this instead :

// Social Output

if ( ! function_exists( 'x_social_global' ) ) :
  function x_social_global() {

    $facebook    = x_get_option( 'x_social_facebook', '' );

    echo $output;

  }
endif;

Make sure to change the link to your Trip advisor profile.

Cheers!

I tried but it failed.

Only my old social media footer icons are still showing.

PS: I also tried adding it manually on another page but I can only see it when im in Cornerstone.

[Rupok]

Hi there,

If you are seeing within Cornerstone then it’s actually working. Perhaps you are not seeing it due to cache. The above code is a working example and should work fine if you add properly.

Thanks!

[Adrian T]

So if its cache how can I fix it?

Thanks!

Hi Adrian,

We could check this further for you but kindly provide us with your FTP details so that we could check the code you have added in the child theme.

Thank you.

Hello There,

Thanks for providing the information. It turns out that you did not install a child theme. Because what you are trying to accomplish requires a template customization, we would like 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.

I went ahead and installed a child theme. I also transferred the given custom social icon code in your child theme’s functions.php file. The Trip Advisor icon is now showing in your footer.

Please check your site now.

[Adrian T]

Thank you so much ! Looks perfect.

[Prasant Rai]

You are most welcome. 🙂

Hi guys –
I am trying to solve the same problem. I installed the code above in my child theme’s functions.php and I see an icon on the top social bar that links to TripAdvisor, however it is a plane. Since FA offers the actual TA icon, is it possible to use that one instead? And can you please advise how to get the background to change to TA green when I hover over it, as the other social icons can do with their company branded colors?

Also, my only other social icon is Facebook, and adding the TA code seems to have done something to the FB icon, as it no longer displays properly. The background circle is there, and it changes to blue when I hover over it, but the white F is no longer visible.

My URL is http://positanoph.com

Thanks so much –
Cindy

[Cindy H]

One more thing – the TA icon is not in line with the other social icon. Is there a quick CSS adjustment you can give me for that?
Thanks!

[Cindy H]

I’ve almost got it, but not quite. The following CSS in the child theme’s style.css gets the FB icon back and uses the real TA icon, and also fixes the alignment problem. But the hovering background color part isn’t working.

.x-icon-tripadvisor:before {
    content: "\f262";
}

.x-social-global a:hover.tripadvisor {
    background-color: #589442;
}

.x-icon-facebook-square:before {
    content: "\f082";
}

[Christopher]

Hi there,

Please update your code to :

a.trip-advisor:hover {
    background-color: #589442;
}

Hope it helps.
