Social icons in header or action bar

mjoundi

I thought this would be a built in theme options, seems like an extremely common request, yet I couldn't find it anywhere? How would I accomplish this? It is a request from the client.

Oh, I would like to know this too. I expected it to be an option in Muffin Builder, and it is not there.

I would like some help with this ASAP, as supposed to have a new draft tomorrow with social icons in header, but clueless how to do so. Thanks.

Social icons are included into theme of course. All you need to do is setup url's for socials under Theme options > Social section and also Action Bar must be activated under Theme options > Menu & Action Bar > Action Bar section. That's it.

I have done both of the above steps, but I still have no Action Bar. Sample page: http://gateway.pinchot.edu/new/contact-us/.

I started with the Finance template. Is there something else I need to do for this template? Or is there a widget step required? Please advise.

As we see, you use Fixed header style which does not work with Action Bar. Because this header is fixed and always sticky to top, it is technically not possible to add action bar above.

Which headers work with action bar?

Ok, found it. Any way to use a different style of social icons? I'd like them bigger and with their standard colors. Please let me know. 

Albert

If you want each social icon to be different color, then we need url to your website where you got them to show you how to do this.

Above is the website. Want something like this for social icon layout: http://www.saadmedical.com/Careers_Education/index.aspx?lang=en

Do you need admin access? Please let me know. 

Albert

No, we don't need any access. Do you want to change colors of social icons in footer section where copyright also is?

Sure, if possible. But mainly in header. 

Albert

But as we see, you don't have default social icons in header. Please activate them in header and we'll tell you how to change their colors.
