Issue/Request:

Hi, I’m having difficulties finding where the “selector” for icons, rather than a word-link for the social media buttons live. I expected the “configure” dialog box would have “display icons”, or something, but I’m not finding it…

Hi Bjorn,

There are 2 Social Media blocks - do we need both or can we use the default? I’ve applied the classes to display the icons for one of the blocks to show you.

Best,

Alyssa

Thanks, that’s super — we only need one block. Where would I find/see the documentation for the classes in cases like this?

Alyssa DeChiaro on June 6, 2018:

The social media icons themselves were already configured, but the Social Media block needed to have the class applied, which is usually already set by default. When you go to Configure block, in the “CSS classes” field, enter in “sharing” and the styling will be applied. There was an additional block created that didn’t have any of the settings set because it wasn’t the default block; I’ve disabled this one so just the default Social Buttons block displays.
