Social Buttons
You want those fancy social Buttons I have here on the left? Well, you can have them!
They are included with the Sprachkonstrukt2 Theme.
And this is how you set them up:
- Create a new Custom Menu
- Add Links to your social network profiles or your RSS feed
- Set the Title of your link accordingly
- Set the ”Social Buttons“ Menu to your created Menu
- Save it
It should look like this:
Currently, the following Icons are available:
- RSS-Feed-Icon – Title:
RSS - Twitter – Title:
Twitter - Facebook – Title:
Facebook - Xing – Title:
Xing - Flickr – Title:
Flickr - Google+ – Title:
Google - YouTube – Title:
YouTube - LinkedIn – Title:
LinkedIn - 500px – Title:
500px
Note, that only the title attributes determine which Icon is shown.
If you add a link with a title different from the ones above, the link is not shown.
That worked for FB and Twitter. I can’t get YouTube to work. Is there a specific way I need to write the word YouTube?
Sorry, there is no YouTube Button available at this time. I’ll maybe add one in the next release.
In 2.3.4 there is a YouTube Button.
Hallo,
das YouTube Menu krieg ich einfach nicht zum erscheinen!
Habs genau so geschrieben wie auf deiner Seite.
Kanns du mir weiterhelfen?
Danke
Das ist Case-Sensitive, muss also “YouTube” lauten, mit großem T. Bei dir ist es ein kleines t.
Sorry Ruben,
jetzt “funzst” es!
Absolut TOLL!
I want to add same button on my site please tell detail or upload any video how to add social networking buttons on my site
They are currently tied-in to the theme. You may however look at the code and put it on your site. It is basically a WordPress Custom Menu with an sprite image and some css you’ll finde in style.css.
Not sure what to put in the URL box for the Google+ button.
Just display your Google+ Profile and copy the url. It’s something like https://plus.google.com/114960565817170980570/posts – the number will be different for you.
Hello,
I would like to see a button for linkedin.com
Hope it is possible?
BR
Of course it is possible. I’ll put in on the list for the next version. Thanks for your feedback!
Yes please add ‘LinkedIn’ and ‘YouTube’ Thank you for the cool theme… I will donate!
Done in 2.3.4.
Also I’m seeing another issue… can the social links open ['_blank-new'] its not good that a person is directed away from our page… they should be opening a “new” tab or page. Please advise. Thanks.
If you really want this (I believe it is not a good thing, because the user should be able to choose how to open a link using the browser function for “open in new tab”), you can do it with this built-in wordpress functionality: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-menu-open-link-in-a-new-window
I cannot for the life of me make this work… I am using WordPress 3.2.1… and sprachkonstrukt2 2.3.3…
when I create a custom menu my options are not the same as those in your illustration. Please help.
Thanks
Hallo,
Ich finde sprachkonstrukt2 ein tolles “Theme”.
Hab dazu eine Frage: Ist es möglich sub-menus im custom-main Menu zu erstellen? Wenn ja, wie; wenn nein, wäre eine tolle Erweiterung!
Auf jeden Fall TOLLE ARBEIT!
Danke
Momentan gibt’s keine Submenüs. Kommt vielleicht irgendwann per Update.
Thanks. These are some great social media icons. I didn’t realize they were even part of the theme until my client pointed it out. Nicely done.
I have managed to make youtube and skype buttons and links.It’s very easy to do it just edit style.css lines 546-592 and you have to edit your social icons.
Thanks for such a great template – its my first and i love learning how to use it…. …however! ;0)
I have the same problem as Guy – My menus are not the same as yours, in the illustration… any guidance would be appreciated..
Thanks.
Thanks for your great theme, but I have trouble in social buttons. I followed the guide, but the social buttons do not willing to show, sometimes I can see it for just a second but mostly not. And I have some widgets installed.
Thanks.
The crucial “title”-tag is missing. Instead there is a css class “fadeout” added to the button links. Maybe a plugin is interfering.
How can I make the social buttons open in their own window/tab. I dont want it to direct off my blog site but rather open a new tab.
I dont know where I can add the…
target=”_blank”
ideas?
Sorry, someone already asked this, thanks.
THANKS FOR YOUR WORK!
Ich habe ein Child-Theme angelegt um ein paar Anpassungen an sprachkonstrukt2 für meine Seite zu machen (ist bisher aber noch 100% Standard), was leider zur Folge hatte, dass bei den Social Buttons zwar der RSS noch funktioniert, der von Twitter aber nicht mehr angezeigt wird.
Woran könnte das scheitern?
__________________________
style.css des Childs:
/*
Theme Name: sprachkonstrukt2 Child
Description: Child theme for the sprachkonstrukt2 theme
Author: GroundhogOZ
Template: sprachkonstrukt2
*/
@import url(“../sprachkonstrukt2/style.css”);
Nach einem Themewechsel müssen die Menüs neu zugeordnet werden.
Ok, danke das hat funktioniert, nur find ichs spannend, dass der RSS-Button trotzdem ging.
Der RSS-Button wird per Default immer eingeblendet, wenn kein Menü definiert ist.
Das erklärt das natürlich … danke
hw cn i post link of facebook………?
Social Buttons not be to my thems or in meny
