In Andrew’s code, you need to replace the URL in the <img src="http://yourlink.com" /> with the URL to your icon. While I’m at that, you’d probably want to add the alt attribute to the <img> tag as well so that if for some reason the image is not available, the alt text will be displayed.

<img src="http://link.to.image" alt="Image alternate text" />

Sorry for the late reply. I’ll be away on vacation and won’t be able to reply to this forum as often.

No problem Syahir! Hope the vacation goes well.

My image links were correct, but I found the problem was with the child theme in general.

I’ve got the icons showing up and working now.

Any way I could bring them closer together though?

They are a bit wider spaced than Andrews.

since you’re posting the direct path to the images in your href statement, try removing all the css for the buttons to see if that helps.

I don’t think i have any css for those buttons.

But the spacing is growing on me. I think I’m going to leave them as is.

Thanks again to the both of you for the help. Much appreciate!

Try inserting this code in your child theme’s style.css file:
```
#rss a{

margin-left:10px;

}

#rss a.rss_link{

margin-left:23px;

}
```
Modify the margin-left property for the #rss a element and leave the margin-left property for the #rss a.rss_link.

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I was able to add the social icons and they are working correctly.

I also added the last code style.css file in child theme but the spacing didn’t change. The icons are still too far apart.

Help please?

Thanks.

Sorry to beat a dead horse here, but I just upgraded my site with the latest version of Graphine (which I really like), but the Facebook, Twitter, and E-mail links that I had put on the top of the page (next to the RSS) have disappeared.

Any idea how I can put them back? The old method of putting them in the function.php (as outlined here) doesn’t seem to work anymore. Either that or I went stupid, which is quite possible considering I have very little knowledge of PHP.

Any help you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Brent
