Social icons not showing up in Header in Vantage theme

Hey there,

If someone can help me, I’d greatly appreciate it as this is my 3rd request for help over the past 4 days. I upgraded to premium and paid $15 to test out the template for a client website build out. I’ll happily pay more if I can get a quicker response but can’t seem to figure out how to do that either.

I’ve tried adding social icons to the Header of the site (thefuturecorps.org) but they aren’t showing up no matter which widget I use. They will show up in the Footer however? Can someone please advise me on all of this?

Thank you!!!!
Melody

    Hi Melody

    From the looks of things you’re using the “Logo in Menu” masthead layout. This option doesn’t actually display the header widget area. It’s only available in the “Default Masthead” option.

    Thanks Greg. Not sure I understand. If I want to use their logo in the Masthead, I can’t use social media icons there? Or do you mean my settings were incorrect? I have changed them but the icons still aren’t showing up?

    Please advise how to donate more $$ towards the theme.

    Thank you!

    With the settings you have now, you should be able to use the social media icons widget. I see you’ve added a social networks widget, but it isn’t the one that comes with Vantage (the Vantage widget is called “Vantage Social Media”). I’m not sure what the one you’re using is called.

    Here’s a guide to using the Vantage Social Media widget.

    $15 is enough to get you premium support. Sorry about the delay in getting to your questions. August was a bit of a crazy month for us but we’re getting back on track now. You should get faster replies from now on.

    Thanks Greg! I changed out the widget again. I had just wanted different social media icons. :) Thank you again!

    Any chance you know why the Tagline now won’t show up? I can’t get the others but not that.

    Hi Melody

    The tagline is unfortunately not rendered in Vantage. You can use:

    1. Appearance > Theme Settings > Logo: Header Text
    OR
    2. Appearance > Widgets: Header. If you are using any widgets in the header widget area then option 1 won’t work. You can insert multiple widgets into the header widget area.

    Also a paid client and using “Logo in Menu” mode and the Social Media icons do not appear, I have added the proper widget to the header widget area and when in default masthead mode they show up. help?
