    Hey there, I have added a custom social icon as per your instructions in previous threads, however the icon itself is not displaying properly and instead just shows a “pen” icon. Can you help with this? code for my uploaded icon is ue888. Also, I would like to add more than one icon – how do I do this in the code?
    AND finally (while I am here) how do I increase the viewing size of these icons? They are displaying very small. THANKS!!

    Hey carendavis!

    To make the icons large please add the below code in Enfold Options > General Styling > Quick CSS

    
    #top .social_bookmarks li a {
         font-size: 20px;
    }
    

    I hope the below video will help you add custom font icons correctly

    Best regards,
    Vinay

    Thanks Vinay for the sizing change, I will try it. This doesn’t answer my question though, I have followed adding custom icons as per instructions (which I want added to my social profiles options, not just the font icons in template builder). It worked at first and the icon displayed correctly, but now just shows a “pen” icon which seems to be a default icon. Link to site is in private content so you can see for yourself.
    I also want to know how to add TWO icons to social profiles, but unsure how to add this into the provided code.
    So far I have added:

    // Register new icon as a theme icon
    function avia_add_custom_icon($icons) {
    	$icons['vsco']	 = array( 'font' =>'entypo', 'icon' => 'ue888');
    	return $icons;
    }
    add_filter('avf_default_icons','avia_add_custom_icon', 10, 1);
    
    function avia_add_custom_social_icon($icons) {
    	$icons['vsco'] = 'ue888';
    	return $icons;
    }
    add_filter('avf_social_icons_options','avia_add_custom_social_icon', 10, 1);

    Hmm actually have partially resolved.. I started again with font and code, renaming my font and adjusting code, which now reads;

    add_filter('avf_default_icons','avia_add_custom_icon', 10, 1);
    function avia_add_custom_icon($icons)
    {
    $icons['vsco']	 = array( 'font' =>'social-new', 'icon' => 'ue888');
    return $icons;
    }
    
    add_filter('avf_social_icons_options','avia_add_custom_social_icon', 10, 1);
    function avia_add_custom_social_icon($icons)
    {
    $icons['vsco'] = 'vsco';
    return $icons;
    }

    All I want to know now is how to add another social icon (from within the same font). Icon name is “ello”, and number is “ue817”. Do I need to create a separate font altogether? Thanks!!

    Hey!

    Yes that’s correct you have to create a new font with it’s unicode.

    Cheers!

    Sorry – I may need you to spell this out a bit for me…how do I then add it to the above code? I tried repeating the above with just the font name and unicode changed and I broke it and had to fix in cpanel – oops. Not that familiar with how PHP functions!
    I have two characters I’d like to add to social icons:
    1. font = ‘mail-new’ unicode = ‘ue800’
    2. font = ‘ello-new’ unicode = ‘ue801’

    Many thanks!!

    Ah worked this one out too, just had to play. For anyone wondering…
    create a new font and new unicode for each symbol, and enter as below!
    You can mark this RESOLVED now thanks :)

    add_filter('avf_default_icons','avia_add_custom_icon', 10, 1);
    function avia_add_custom_icon($icons)
    {
    $icons['vsco']	 = array( 'font' =>'social-new', 'icon' => 'ue888');
    $icons['mail']	 = array( 'font' =>'mail-new', 'icon' => 'ue800');
    $icons['ello']	 = array( 'font' =>'ello-new', 'icon' => 'ue801');
    return $icons;
    }
    
    add_filter('avf_social_icons_options','avia_add_custom_social_icon', 10, 1);
    function avia_add_custom_social_icon($icons)
    {
    $icons['vsco'] = 'vsco';
    $icons['mail'] = 'mail';
    $icons['ello'] = 'ello';
    return $icons;
    }
