Is there a way to add other Social Media Icons to the list at the top. We see the code under the Basic Setting Tab under Theme options.
[social_area][social icon=”facebook” link=”#”][social icon=”twitter” link=”#”][social icon=”google-plus” link=”#”][social icon=”linkedin” link=”#”][social icon=”instagram” link=”#”][/social_area]
We want to be able swap out some items and add Houzz (fa-houzz), Pinterest (fa-pinterest), and Yelp (fa-yelp ), for example.
Is that possible?

Just put icon name in the shortcode.
Example:
[social icon=”houzz” link=”#”]Regards,

[social icon=”houzz” link=”#”]
[social icon=”facebook” link=”#”]
[social icon=”twitter” link=”#”]
[social icon=”linkedin” link=”#”]
[social icon=”instagram” link=”#”]
[/social_area]But it didn’t work. Am I doing something wrong?
February 8, 2016 at 6:44 am #21824Hi Robert,
Kindly show us your website

ShriFebruary 8, 2016 at 5:36 pm #21930The Beta site that is under construction can be seen at http://www.aibd.org/mobile/.
The current code we have under the ‘Header Top Social icon’ section in the Theme Options is:
[social_area][social icon=”houzz” link=”#”][social icon=”facebook” link=”#”][social icon=”twitter” link=”#”][social icon=”google-plus” link=”#”][social icon=”linkedin” link=”#”][social icon=”instagram” link=”#”][/social_area]
February 9, 2016 at 6:03 am #21980Hi Robert,
Kindly send us your URL of the site and WordPress admin details via sktthemes.net/contact

ShriFebruary 12, 2016 at 4:59 pm #22551Hi Shri,
The URL is http://www.aibd.org/mobile
Why is the WordPress Admin needed? Is there not a more secure way to resolve this issue?
The verbatim code that we have put is:
[social_area][social icon=”houzz” link=”#”][social icon=”facebook” link=”#”][social icon=”twitter” link=”#”][social icon=”google-plus” link=”#”][social icon=”linkedin” link=”#”][social icon=”instagram” link=”#”][/social_area]
Are you not able to look at that and see what is wrong?
Thanks
February 13, 2016 at 8:22 am #22601All you need to do is replace the # within the double quotes with the actual URL so for example our facebook URL is https://www.facebook.com/sktwordpressthemes
Similarly add your full actual URLs replacing the #
Someone asked how to link WhatsApp kindly check in this website: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/
All you need to do is add this icon: whatsapp with the line of code within the actual code.
here is the code again:
[social_area][social icon=”houzz” link=”#”][social icon=”facebook” link=”#”][social icon=”twitter” link=”#”][social icon=”google-plus” link=”#”][social icon=”linkedin” link=”#”][social icon=”instagram” link=”#”][/social_area]
Adding WhatsApp would mean:
[social_area][social icon=”houzz” link=”#”][social icon=”whatsapp” link=”#”][social icon=”facebook” link=”#”][social icon=”twitter” link=”#”][social icon=”google-plus” link=”#”][social icon=”linkedin” link=”#”][social icon=”instagram” link=”#”][/social_area]
Make sure not to copy codes from forum as they do not keep the inverted commas intact. Take it from the section area or from documentation area.

ShriFebruary 16, 2016 at 10:46 am #22928Hi how I can change short code social icon because I have on wordpress ultimate social media plus and I need change for that short code thanks
February 17, 2016 at 10:28 am #23083You can use a different plugin for social icons then in case you don’t want our shortcode.
Find any suitable plugin in WordPress.org/plugins which suits your requirement of icons.
