    Hi guys,

    Has been a long time, but is there an easy way how I can replace the social sharing buttons to a more modern one (including G+, Linkedin etc.) in my 3.1 version of Colorway?

    I don't really want to upgrade to the newest Colorway theme because I'm afraid I will loose all my customizations. And I'm just not technical enough to fix these :).

    Thanks and cheers!

    Walter

    Hello, Walter!

    I would like to recommend you to use Easy Social Icons plugin.
    You can easily configure and use this plugin in the theme.

    Thanks,
    Praveen

    Thanks, but that seems mainly for widgets, and sidebars, how can I add it to the header area?

    Hello,

    To use it in your header section, you have to paste "<?php if ( function_exists('cn_social_icon') ) echo cn_social_icon(); ?>" in header.php file of the theme folder.


    First try at your end.
    If you find any difficulty in making this customization, then send us your website WordPress login details at [email protected] along with the thread link.
    We will customize this for you.:)


    Thanks,
    Praveen
