Social Icons Default Class Changes via CSS

[iDigitalise]

Hello Team -

I have a quick question, I currently have a set of Social Icons in the header and footer of my site. All icons are square with a Dark Grey Colour and on Hover over the colour is Extra Dark Grey. I assume these icons are using default CSS from the theme as I don’t have any custom CSS on my site for Social icons.

The issue is I have just added our Instagram account and the icon for this is not filled instead it’s an outline which makes it look out of place from the rest.

I have 2 questions

1. Can I use CSS to make it look like the rest? (I have checked Font-awesome and they don’t have a filled Instagram icon)
   Alternatively, if the above is not possible how can I change the rest of the icons to either outline or something similar to the Instagram design so it makes everything consistent.

2. Can I re-order the icons so Linked Appears First then Twitter etc?.

Thanks

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in.

It’s the only icon available in font awesome library. But please try adding this custom CSS

.x-social-global a.instagram {
color: #fff;
    background: #666;
    padding: 2px 3px 1px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    font-size: 18px;
    position: relative;
    top: -2px;
}

You can only reorder it through the code, please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php and arrange it the way you prefer

  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' );
    $pinterest   = x_get_option( 'x_social_pinterest' );
    $dribbble    = x_get_option( 'x_social_dribbble' );
    $flickr      = x_get_option( 'x_social_flickr' );
    $github      = x_get_option( 'x_social_github' );
    $behance     = x_get_option( 'x_social_behance' );
    $tumblr      = x_get_option( 'x_social_tumblr' );
    $whatsapp    = x_get_option( 'x_social_whatsapp' );
    $soundcloud  = x_get_option( 'x_social_soundcloud' );
    $rss         = x_get_option( 'x_social_rss' );

    $output = '<div class="x-social-global">';

    $output .= '</div>';

    echo $output;

  }

It will then override the existing social codes.

Thanks!

Thanks! Both fixes worked!

However, the insta icon in the footer is bigger than the rest

Hi There,

Please update the previous CSS to this:

.x-colophon.bottom .x-social-global a.instagram {
    color: #fff;
    background: #666;
    padding: 2px 3px 1px;
    border-radius: 3px;
    font-size: 17px !important;
    position: relative;
    top: 0;
}

Hope it helps

Perfect! Thanks!
