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
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.
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?

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!
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.
