Social icons missing after upgrade

Support
#1

Hello,

I just upgraded a clients website and now his social icons are broken in both the Header & Footer.

How can we fix this?

Thanks,

Micah

I have this code in the functions file. I am assuming that the font awesome codes have changed.

// Load Font Awesome
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_font_awesome' );
function enqueue_font_awesome() {

	wp_enqueue_style( 'font-awesome', '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css' );

}

// Load Social Icons
function x_social_global() {

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

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! If you’ve cleared your cache and you’re still seeing this problem it could be because the icons have been customized with a child theme. If that’s the case you’ll need to replace data-x-icon with data-x-icon-b to make your social icons load again.

Take a look at this thread for an example: https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/social-icons-custom-in-footer-have-gone-after-update/38535/55

Hope this helps!

Hello,

I did as you asked an now most of the icons are fixed. The YouTube & RSS Icons are still broken and I don’t know how to get them working.

Server cache is disabled.

Here is my updated code.

// Load Social Icons
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', '' );
