My client is not on Twitter but on LinkedIn, so I’d like to replace the Twitter Icon and Link in the footer “interesting links” widget with the respective LinkedIn icon and link.

I know that I could just use a blank text widget and put in the necessary code, plus manually upload a linkedIn icon to the media library, but I’d like to think the more elegant solution would be modifing and using the widget that’s already there.
How would I go about that? Maybe I overlooked it, but I couldn’t find a widget.php anywhere in the folder structure.

Maybe for future updates it would be a good idea to offer an alternative for the small social icons row above the navigation at the top of the page for the footer area? Or consider that people might want to mix and match their own interesting social links? For example, fewer users use the RSS feed today or even know what the icon stands for.

Hi e13kiki!

Please go to Enfold/framework/php folder and open class-framework-widgets.php file and find
```
function widget($args, $instance) {
			// prints the widget

			extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
			$twitter = empty($instance['twitter']) ? '' : $instance['twitter'];
			$rss 	 = empty($instance['rss']) ? '' : $instance['rss'];
			$rss = preg_replace('!https?:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/!','',$rss);

			if(!empty($twitter) || !empty($rss))
			{
				$addClass = "asc_multi_count";
				if(!isset($twitter) || !isset($rss)) $addClass = 'asc_single_count';

				echo $before_widget;
				$output = "";
				if(isset($twitter))
				{
					$link = 'http://twitter.com/'.$twitter.'/';
					$before = apply_filters('avf_social_widget', "", 'twitter');
					$output .= "<a href='$link' class='asc_twitter $addClass'>{$before}".__('Follow','avia_framework')."".__('on Twitter','avia_framework')."</a>";
					
				}
```
and change it to
```
function widget($args, $instance) {
			// prints the widget

			extract($args, EXTR_SKIP);
			$twitter = empty($instance['linkedin']) ? '' : $instance['linkedin'];
			$rss 	 = empty($instance['rss']) ? '' : $instance['rss'];
			$rss = preg_replace('!https?:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/!','',$rss);

			if(!empty($linkedin) || !empty($rss))
			{
				$addClass = "asc_multi_count";
				if(!isset($linkedin) || !isset($rss)) $addClass = 'asc_single_count';

				echo $before_widget;
				$output = "";
				if(isset($linkedin))
				{
					$link = 'http://linkedin.com/'.$linkedin.'/';
					$before = apply_filters('avf_social_widget', "", 'linkedin');
					$output .= "<a href='$link' class='asc_linkedin $addClass'>{$before}".__('Follow','avia_framework')."".__('on LinkedIn','avia_framework')."</a>";
					
				}
```

Hey!

You can simply paste the code to the child theme functions, it should have any issue to work!

Let us know and we will help further if needed

Hi,

Please copy unmodified enfold/framework/php/class-framework-widgets.php file and paste it inside enfold-child folder. Open the file and find following at the top and remove it (please do not remove PHP opening tag)
```
 if ( ! defined('AVIA_FW')) exit('No direct script access allowed');
```
and then add following code to Functions.php file of your child theme
```
require( 'class-framework-widgets.php' );
```
Best regards,

hey thanks for answering!
If I put the function in the child function.php (like Basisis recommented) – I will get a white screen!
Also if I do it like Yigit says – a white screen!

The simpliest way would be just copying the rendered HTML:
```
<section id="avia_socialcount-3" class="widget clearfix avia_socialcount">
<a href="#" class="asc_twitter asc_multi_count"> 
 
Folgenauf Twitter</a>
<a href="#" class="asc_rss asc_multi_count">Abonnierenden RSS Feed</a> 
 
</section>
```
… and change the icons. But I don´t know how to change them? Do you have an idea?

Hi!

@frankeee Can you please start a new thread and attach temporary admin logins and FTP logins in private content field so we can look into it? If you post them here, they will be visible to creator of this thread as well
