Replace social icons w/image

[steve02a 0]

I have inherited a semi-completed site, and now I'm stuck on an issue (aside from doing lots of clean up). Using the PlatformPro - in the upper right corner in the branding section, there are social icons (twitter, FB, linkedin, RSS). I would like to replace those icons with an image (or more like a placeholder for now whereas I can put flash or an image in there later for advertising). I've been poking around in CSS and PHP files and I've been able to identify where in the code these items reside, but I have not changed anything. How can this be done? If you need more information, please do let me know. Thanks

Hi Steve, To add an image in place of the social icons you will need to use the functions.php file located in the Platform base theme files. You can add a custom function using hooks that will allow you to replace those icons with anything of your choosing. Start with the instructions related to child themes located here http://www.pagelines.com/docs/base-child-theme There are also options build into Platform which will allow you hide some of the icons by default. Specifically the blog/rss link is located in the header settings for Platform. Cheers, -Kyle
