rmcrorie 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2011 Good day My social icons are not linking properly; specifically they are loading my site url before (in addition to) the appropriate social media URL. Example: http://www.mysite.comwww.facebook.com/pages/username How do I correct this? Thanks in advance for the attention and help! Cheers RYan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
timlinson 3 Report post Posted April 14, 2011 What are your permalink settings in WP Settings > Permalinks? And what are the social icon URLs in PlatformPro > Settings > Header+Nav > Social Icons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmcrorie 0 Report post Posted April 14, 2011 Sorry Tim, incomplete answer...I am using a custom permalinks structure (/%postname%/) and using the entire user URL for the social media sites - example: www.facebook.com/pages/username/123456789 Any help is appreciated.

timlinson 3 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 Are the social links the only ones messed up? Are you using a custom branding template by chance? Deactivate all plugins just to make sure there's not a rogue plugin. A link to the site would also help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmcrorie 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 Good morning Tim Thanks for the follow up... Yes, the social icons are the only ones not working. The site I have tried deactivating all plugins, but that didn't seem to work either. Can I hard code the social icon links somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmcrorie 0 Report post Posted April 15, 2011 SOLVED Developed a hack using hook example...in case anyone else runs into this problem, here are directions to solve it. 1) Erase whatever you have entered in Settings>Header & Nav under Social Icons 2) Enter the following code in functions.php using your social links //Add Action ('hook', 'function') add_action('pagelines_branding_icons_end', 'add_icons_to_branding'); // function name function add_icons_to_branding(){ ?> <?php } // end function[/code] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diretornak 2 Report post Posted June 26, 2011 I dont get it. Im having a similar problem but this solution makes no sense to me. I have inserted the links properly, but the icons just remain grayed out on hover, as if there was no link.
