Shortcodes-How?

[Jane Devin]

I would appreciate your help. I cannot get the short codes for social media done properly. I checked the forum and it said go to Theme>Appearance>Theme Options, but that is not an option on the STK Business Pro that I have.

I want a FB icon to link to my FB page and and a G+ to link to my Google account.

Right now, the only code in the box is: [social icon=”http://facebook.com/MyPage” target=”facebook”]

Obviously, it doesn’t work. I messed up trying to fix it. Right now, the only thing showing is “Follow Us” which leads write back to my page.

I sent a letter to support, but I think they’re 12 hours ahead of us, so if anyone here can help I’d really appreciate it.

Will you please tell me what to put in the box?

It took me three hours, but it finally worked for whoever else might have the same question in the future. The format for shortcodes is:

[social icon=”facebook” link=”http://www.facebook.com/yourpage”]

[social icon=”google-plus” link=”https://plus.google.com/yourpage”]

(I had to clear my cache a couple of times, because the links kept going back to my homepage at first. )

Hi Dianne,

We got other emails from you in this regard. Didn’t reply seeing your response here.

Glad your issue could be addressed.

Regards,
