I browsed around, but I couldn’t find out how to add a facebook image to the right of the rss feed icon so I can link my site to my facebook page.

anyone care to provide steps to accomplish that?

I’d appreciate it.

I actually asked about a similar question in this post yesterday:

https://forum.graphene-theme.com/topic/beta-graphene-11b1/page/2#post-512

Its about placing icons after the RSS at the top 🙂

You can use the graphene_feed_icon action hook to add additional icons beside the RSS icon at the top bar.

The code should be something like this below (place it in your child theme’s functions.php):
```
function graphene_social_icons(){

?>



<?php

}

add_action('graphene_feed_icon', 'graphene_social_icons');
```
PS: Michael, that looks familiar? 😀

One last little thing to follow-up, the buttons wont/dont work in category pages as the addthis script isn’t there automatically … will this be overcome in the next update perhaps? Shall i explain further?

Thanks!

Oops..edited the code to remove the extra } 😀

The buttons should work in all of the website’s pages, including the category pages. There’s nothing in the code to stop it from being displayed in the category page.

I figured out how to use a child theme with a css file, but damn if I can figure out how to make a child functions.php file..my php skills are very limited..would you mind indulging…I even googled it and it didn’t help much.

Andrew: All you do is just upload a blank functions.php file to the graphene-child themes folder and then log into wp-admin to start editing it.

Syahir: The images DO display but they are NOT clickable ….

I’m gona install the new beta now see if it helps 😉
