Hi guys,
Following up off this thread I found back in February as I’m unable to reply - https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/suggestion-add-twitch-social-media-profile-account-link/52985/2
Is there any chance we could get twitch added as a social account? It’s an incredibly popular video platform and I don’t seem to be able to find it.
Thanks
Hi Jonathan,
Thanks for writing in! I have checked our issue tracker and I see that your request has been added as a feature request.
We cannot guarantee any ETA or whether it has been taken into consideration, as all the feature requests are discussed internally by our development team.
Thanks for understanding.
No problem, do you have any workarounds in the meantime for manually adding it in? I can throw together my own logo. I suspect if it hasn’t been done at this point it’s probably a lower priority job, but Twitch is a valuable platform that I’d like to prominently display if at all possible
Hey Jonathan,
For the meantime, please install and activate the child theme and login through FTP then edit the functions.php then add this code:
if ( ! function_exists( 'x_social_global' ) ) :
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' );

$output .= '</div>';
echo $output;
}
endif;
Please the find the line:
$output .= '<a href="#" class="twitch" title="Twitch" target="_blank"><i class="x-icon-twitch" data-x-icon-b="" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>';
in the code above and replace # in the href attribute with the link to your twitch account.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply, would this be correct?
$output .= '<a href="twitch.tv/gamrah" class="twitch" title="Twitch" target="_blank"><i class="x-icon-twitch" data-x-icon-b="" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>';
If so, it’s outputting to gamrah.com/twitch.tv/gamrah. The other social media accounts I have are pointing to gamrah.com/gamrah
Hey Jonathan,
Please add the complete URL like:
https://www.twitch.tv/gamrah instead of just twitch.tv/gamrah or
https://www.facebook.com/thefbpage instead of https://www.facebook.com/thefbpage
Hope this helps.
Did the job, thank you very much
You’re most welcome, Jonathan.
