Hi,
Is there a way to change the social media buttons in the posts. Right now it is Facebook, Twitter, G+, and Pinterest.
Can i.e. G+ and Pinterest be removed and replaced by Linkedin?
Kind regards
Lars
Hello,
You can follow this topic to see how it can be done: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/linkedin-button/
From the same file you have to add the linked in button, you can remove other ones.
Unfortunately this method does not apply 100% anymore. It will require a bit of css adjustments.
I hope this helps.
Thank you!
I followed the instructions on this page to add linkedin to my social share buttons
https://forum.tagdiv.com/add-a-new-linkedin-button/
When I do this it works but the LinkedIn button only has an “I” in it. I then found additional instructions (https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/linkedin-button/) to correct this but when I use them I get a blank blue box with no letters in it at all for LinkedIn – how can I correct this?
.td-social-linkedin{
background-color: #006699;
}
Hello,
As i stated above, this method does not work 100% anymore as it will require further adjustments. It is not an official tutorial anymore as the theme was updated and the tutorial is deprecated. However, this represents custom work and needs adjustments. If you cannot do them, you will have to hire some help as we cannot offer any custom work at the moment.
Thank you!
I did hire someone. And they had the same issue.
So we can conclude with that it is currently not possible to have a Linkedin share button.
Hope this is something you will approve on.
Kind regards
Lars
“improve” not “approve”. 🙂
Hello,
We will try to add more social icons in the future. Until then you can use the method provided and adjust it with css. Please provide a link to your website with the modification so I can provide the css code for adjusting the button.
thank you!
Thanks! That is brilliant service and very kind of you.
Here is the link to one of the posts on the page:

If you scroll down you see the facebook and twitter icon. The blue box next to those are supposed to be Linkedin.
Kind regards

Hello,
You can use this custom css:
.td-social-linkedin{
background-image: url("https://static.licdn.com/scds/common/u/img/icon/apple-touch-icon.png");
background-size: 100%;
}
What id does is grab an image from an url and sets it as a background image for the button. Right now it’s grabbing one I found on google, but you could change it to an image from your server (which is recommended) simply grab or create an image in ms paint or photoshop (just the letters ‘in’ on a blue background will not be a hard image to create) and upload it to your server and change the path in the css.

I hope this helps.
Thank you!
Problem solved! Thanks!

Hello,
I will add these suggestions to our list and maybe in a future version of our theme we will be able to add more social buttons to the article sharing. Until such time, you can add a custom network by following the method above.
Thank you for your suggestions.
