is there a way to add a +1 icon and link or a constant contact image and link to the header bar that contains the other social links? (the place that has twitter, fb, yelp, etc.
could you configure the email from mail chimp to cc?
It is possible to edit the theme to add in a Google icon for you to use. Here’s how:
1) Go to the media section and select add new
2) Upload the image below and copy the URL that WordPress gives you for it.https://support.organizedthemes.com/samples/google.png
It’s white so it may be a bit hard to see, but it’s there.
3) Go to the appearance section and select edit to open up the theme editor.
4) From the list of files on your right, choose header-links.php
5) Look for this spot:<?php if(of_get_option(‘rss’) == ‘yes’) { ?>
and paste this right above it:
6) You’ll need to change the http://www.googleplus.com to your Google Plus profile URL and the http://www.yoursite.com/google.png to the URL to your icon.
7) Save your changes.
That will add the Google Plus icon and link for you.
You could use the same method for adding a Constant Contact link, but I don’t have an icon to send you for that.
The easiest way to add the Constant Contact box would be to use a sidebar widget. There are several plugins that can handle that in a pretty straightforward way.
If you have any trouble, let me know.
worked great, thank you!
could I just change the formatting of the mail chimp link to use the same icon you have for a constant contact link?
Glad that worked. You can probably change out the relevant bits of the file newsletter.php to go from MailChimp to Constant Contact. No knowing CC’s form structure, I can’t provide specific instructions, but since it’s just a form it should work.
You can also replace any of the icons you’d like to point to a new service. I’ve got to take out the Gowalla one with next update since they are now part of Facebook and closing down.
If I can help anymore, just let me know.
