I seem to have lost the Facebook button on my site. I would like it to appear in the menu bar or some other prominent location. Can anyone tell me how to access it? Thanks!

Hi,

Do you refer to the social icons from the top menu? – http://screencast.com/t/thLYNluAgDl
You can enable social for top menu from Theme Panel > Header – http://screencast.com/t/v2pBIxhrP6pb and add your links for socials that you want to appear there – http://screencast.com/t/4BBwjLF3Kw

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick the reply.

I had found that option, but I was hoping to place a larger icon on the menu bar under my logo or possibly at the bottom of the page. Something a little more prominent. Are there any other options for this?

Hi,

You can add a link to the menu and add your icon as a label please follow this solution for this – https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/home-button-for-menu/#post-35101

Ok Thanks. I was able to write the word “Facebook” and I can see that it is possible to put a link to an image instead. I need a little more help writing that link properly. How do I upload the image to WordPress and where will I find it to direct the link?

Hi,

You can upload an image from Media library – http://screencast.com/t/enYBXBwEe and after that you can take link url like this – http://screencast.com/t/33kjXRkfmFhttp://screencast.com/t/n8IjJntvhl0b
In the Menus section – http://screencast.com/t/NVzzvP92M7

Hi Alin,

Sorry for the delay, I have been traveling. Thank you for the links.
I added the image to the image library and i followed the link structure in the directions, but something is wrong. When I try to add the image it breaks the site and shows nothing but my background image.

I tried to add the link with code exactly as it appears in association with the image in the media section. I also tried replacing my domain with localhost like in the example you linked to like this…

What am I missing?

Well obviously you cant have localhost… Images load off your website domain just like all images on your site…

Maybe a basic html book would be advisable.?

Basically you are uploading image to your site just like any image, the loading that image in your layout with normal img tag.

Obviously I am not an expert and I came to this forum trying to learn something.

All snarky comments aside, I had tried that, it didn’t work which is why I tried writing it exactly how it looked in the link.

I have since made progress and the problem was the size of the image.

I apologize if my skill level is offensive to some.

Hi,


@Jeni
I cannot see the screenshot please provide more details. Like you can see above I tested this and it should work also for you. Please read also Lucian’s solution from other thread as you have also to use custom css (in Theme Panel > Custom Css) using meu item unique class to adjust the height of the image: http://screencast.com/t/Zxxzo6HOTlo7

Replace with you url and paste it to Navigation label: http://screencast.com/t/NVzzvP92M7
<img src="http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Features-Icon-150x150.png">

Replace xxx with number of your menu item and paste it in Theme Panel > Custom Css:

.menu-item-xxx img{
height: 44px;
}

Hope this helps!

Thanks Alin,

I had gotten hung up on the image size. I changed the size of the image and it works beautifully. Thanks for all your help.
