fiduciary 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 Hello, I tried setting up the social media links under PlatformPro >> Header and Nav, but they are not showing up. They are in the source code for the header but do not appear: Any advice? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 547 Report post Posted April 10, 2012 In Dashboard > PlatformPro > Headers And Footers, you've entered the links to each of the social media icons with their social media accounts? The option under [b]News/Blog RSS Icon [/b]is checked? Did you create any custom CSS? Former PageLines Moderator, Food Expert and Raconteur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fiduciary 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Yes, I've done all that. I only have a bit of custom CSS that works on just one page: [code] body{ .page-id-1121 #pagelines_content { margin-top: -30px; margin-bottom: -20px } } [/code] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 547 Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Your CSS is a little off. Try this: [code]body{} .page-id-1121 #pagelines_content { margin-top: -30px; margin-bottom: -20px }[/code] The open body tag (with curly bracket at the end) may seem fine from a coding angle, but as CSS, it's likely to break things. Let's see if this fixes the problem. Former PageLines Moderator, Food Expert and Raconteur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catrina 103 Report post Posted April 12, 2012 Perhaps they are hidden somehow. Try adding this CSS: [code]div.icons {z-index: 2 !important;}[/code] Please read the docs before posting.

Danny+ 1,327 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Hi, The issue is the CSS for each icon, the path to the images is incorrect. Below is what you currently have: [code].icons .linkedinlink { background: url(../../../../../DOCUME%7E1/knally/LOCALS%7E1/images/sprite-socialicons.png) no-repeat -66px 0; }[/code] The path should look something similar to this: [code].icons .rsslink { background: url(../images/sprite-socialicons.png) no-repeat 0 0; } .icons .twitterlink { background: url(../images/sprite-socialicons.png) no-repeat -22px 0; } .icons .linkedinlink { background: url(../images/sprite-socialicons.png) no-repeat -66px 0; }[/code] Please search our forums, before posting!

fiduciary 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 Ok, so how do I change it? I tried copying that into custom CSS but no change. Do I have to upload the images onto my site from somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenny 33 Report post Posted April 16, 2012 It looks like you developed your site locally and didn't change any of the paths in the database.

fiduciary 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Ok thanks. Based on this tutorial it looks like I have to re-adjust the original backup and load it again. Will this mess up any settings that I changed on the server (rather than locally), and if so is there any work-around? Thanks for your help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenny 33 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 You may be able to do a search and replace but I honestly can't give you advice on what to search for since the hierarchy is so deep, example: ../../../../../DOCUME%7E1/knally/LOCALS%7E1/images/sprite-socialicons.png ♥ Jenny :: Web designer at Simple Mama (follow me at @simplemamacom) Check out Share Me, a social sharing add-on for DMS that is super simple to set up.

fiduciary 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 Ok, a couple final questions: 1. I want to edit the theme CSS (http://www.thefiduciaryinstitute.org/wp-content/themes/platformpro/css/theme.css). To do so, do I need to access it through FTP or can I somehow edit it through my WordPress dashboard? 2. What is the default icon size for the social media icons?

Rob 547 Report post Posted April 17, 2012 You shouldn't really be editing core files. CSS should be added to Dashboard > PlatformPro > Custom Code > CSS Rules. Do you have PlatformBase 1.4.1 activated? Former PageLines Moderator, Food Expert and Raconteur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fiduciary 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 No, I'm on 1.3.9. Will upgrading help fix this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob 547 Report post Posted April 19, 2012 If you're on PlatformBase 1.3.9, I'd strongly urge you to save your /platformbase/functions.php to your desktop AND copy/paste all your custom CSS to a text file saved also to your desktop. Then you can update safely. Former PageLines Moderator, Food Expert and Raconteur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
