    Hi there,

    Just wondering if there is anyway to add social media icons to the footer of a page? I've uploaded images of the icons, but they're way to big and I've tried to resize them with no luck.

    Thanks!

        Hey Armin,

        Many thanks on this wonderful product, I'm enjoying it and heading towards having some of my portfolio work showcased on my domain.

        I'm suffering the same issues with my social media icons/buttons as described above. I've somehow implemented a few, but they're not being being displayed well, seizing issues and other stuff.

        Then I headed towards this tread and installed the plugin you advised. But the shortcode just wont grab, I wont show me the buttons.

        I've also tried it by activating footers, but no luck.
        What am I doing wrong?

        Cheers,

        D :blush:

          Hey Dustin!,

          Maybe just embed the buttons with plain html in the custom footer or header section.

          You can define the size of the images in the Custom CSS.

          This might be interesting as well:

          Let me know!

          Best!

          I also code custom websites or custom Lay features.

          Before you post:
          1. When using a WordPress Cache plugin, disable it or clear your cache.
          2. Update Lay Theme and all Lay Theme Addons
          3. Disable all Plugins
          4. Go to Lay Options → Custom CSS & HTML, click "Turn Off All Custom Code", click "Save Changes"

          This often solves issues you might run into

          When you post:
          1. Post a link to where the problem is
          2. Does the problem happen on Chrome, Firefox, Safari or iPhone or Android?
          3. If the problem is difficult to explain, post screenshots / link to a video to explain it
