X Theme [Not Pro]: Changing Social Media Tooltip

[AdventDeo]

Hello, I’ve managed to change the icon of Behance to Amazon and add an Amazon link to it, but the tooltip still says “Behance”. How can I change this? I am using X Child Theme.

Hey @AdventDeo,

Please open up the social.php file located in **x\framework\functions\frontend**. Copy the x_social_global function to your child theme’s functions.php.

In the function, replace the Behance title with Amazon. You might as well change the icon’s unicode in there so you don’t have to do it with CSS.

The whole code that you should be pasting is this:

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;

} // End Social Icons Override

Just note that in the future, improvements to the function might render that override to break. In which case, remove the code from your functions.php and repeat the steps again.

Hope that helps.

You’re super awesome. Thank you so much. Works perfectly. I’ll keep note of the possible breaking due to updates. Thanks for the fix and the head’s up! You can close this topic.
