Hi all,

First of all the whatsapp doesn’t work, if you click on it you get a black screen (This site can’t be reached). I aspected that it wil open facetime or other web application to call the number. On the mobile this menu doesn’t appear…

Hey peruwan,

Can you please check the server log for error when you get the white screen?

You just added the link and not in the correct way.

Please have a look at this thread:

Hi Victoria,

The problem is not that it doesn’t appear, because it does.
The problem is when you press on the whatsapp button then you get that fault page with the error “DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN”.

Try it the homepage link is on the tread.

Hi Victoria, i dont think you get my problem, i’ve got the latest enfold installed so that thread link that you gave is irrelevant.
I don’t have a problem with not appearing the whatsapp icon on my icon list which is the problem on that link that you send me.
I’ve a problem with the whatsapp logo on my Menu.

PROBLEM 1: when the user clicks on the icon on the top menu in the header, the link doesn’t work properly because it links to that “DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN” page which is a BUG in the theme. So a update is needed for this problem.

PROBLEM 2: the whatsapp icon disappears when you on a smaller screen like a mobile. This can be a bug of a option of a css thing that maybe its on the documentation.

I’m asking if someone can help me with this.

Hi peruwan,

The social icons are hidden on mobile.
Here is the code you can put in Enfold > General Styling > Quick Css, if it does not work, put into themes/enfold/css/custom.css
```
@media only screen and (max-width: 479px) {
    .responsive #top #wrap_all #header .social_bookmarks, 
    .responsive #top #wrap_all #main .av-logo-container .social_bookmarks {
        display: block;
    }
}
```
The other question is that you added the link for the Whatsapp in the incorrect way.

If you need further assistance please let us know.

Best regards,
Victoria

Thanks, that’s also a way to do it, maybe that it could be in a future update as an option?

What is the correct way to make it work? Because I’ve just put my number there… (shouldn’t it be clearer if it needed more than just a number? as a suggestion in the field).
I’ve tried to put also a mailto but that doesn’t work either…

Hi Victoria,

Thank you for the reaction but this is an external plugin for the WhatsApp social buttons.
Let me explain it again, the Enfold template where the theme settings are there is a function by the theme itself to add the Whatsapp icon into the Menu.

This setting can be found in Header > Extra Elements.
Header Social Icons
Choose if and where to display social icons. You can define the icons at Social Profiles

The word “Social Profiles” is clickable which goes to Social Profiles settings in the theme settings.
In the Dropdown there is the item “WhatsApp” then on the right you can add your number for the Whatsapp.
The same works for the other items in the dropdown example Facebook and on the right facebook.com/kriesi

So tell me why do I have to install the plugin in the article even tho there is an option in Enfold itself? Doesn’t this just have to work or maybe there is a bug in the theme that just an update can resolve this? And why did you tell me a few reactions back that I didn’t add my number on the right way? And now you tell me to read the article which advises me to install an extern plugin and modify the whole thing. And on your first reaction, you send me to another thread which has nothing to do with my issue here.
Maybe one of your colleagues can help me?
Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for the link to your site, I notice that your Whatsapp icon has a http link like this: http://1-555-555-5555 please try using the tel link like this: tel://1-555-555-5555

Please note that the number format is important if you want it to work with both IOS & Android, please read this article.
When I test this on my Windows localhost with Chrome, it seems to trigger the correct response:

unfortunately, I don’t have an iPhone and I can’t connect my Android to my localhost, but I believe this will help, please try.

Best regards,
Mike
