Insert Social Icons Anywhere (not just top bar/header/footer)

BB Theme
1

I did a few searches on this but I’m either not using the right terms or no one else has asked?

Is there a shortcode or a bit of custom code that will let me insert the social icons (specified in the Customizer) anywhere on a page or sidebar text widget? I’d love to stay within the BB functionality vs. using a separate module but I can’t figure out how to insert the social icons anywhere except the top bar or header or footer.

The reason I ask is because I’ve replaced my site header with a Global Saved Row and I’d like to insert the social icons into a region therein.

Hey Jose,

Just letting you know we’re checking in on this. :slight_smile:

Hey Jose,

Try adding this to your functions.php file.

function call_bb_social_icons() {
    ob_start();
    FLTheme::social_icons();
    return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('bb_social_icons', 'call_bb_social_icons');

You can then try calling those icons using the shortcode [bb_social_icons]. Let us know how it goes! :slight_smile:

Works perfectly for me! Thanks a bunch. This will be VERY useful with some of my other sites too!
