    Hi there,
    Is there an easy way to add social icons to the top bar? I found this image https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=social+top+bar&rlz=1C1FDUM_enGB491GB492&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjd5JaFxK3TAhWHLsAKHa9JBWkQ_AUICCgB&biw=2560&bih=1261#imgrc=46YZntuvSUhp3M:

    I could just download a plug in but thought I would ask.
    Awesome theme loving it!
    Thanks

    Hi Marcus,

    Yes, you’d need a 3rd party plugin or customization to achieve that.

    Thanks!

    Hello, we would like to do the same as well on the homepage of our site…

    Can you suggest a plugin or custom code?

    Thanks

    That really depends on the theme used…

    Hi I would like this and I am using the Supreme theme. I can’t find a plug in?

    Supreme only has 1 main menu where you can’t really add icons, there is no other top bar.

    Your best option would be to add them as link and turn them into icons with CSS.

    Yes you some up the issue. Most themes would have this as a standard feature. As such there are virtually no plugins to add this feature.

    Hey all,

    It is possible to do that if you are only using Directory Starter.

    Customizer > Header > Header Top > enable header top.

    This section adds that top section and a menu for adding social icons.

    You create menu like regular menus, however for the text you need to enter the font awesome icon html for the link text.

    For example for facebook, you need to use the text like

    <i class="fa fa-facebook-official"></i>

    In supreme, we redesigned the pages. So that header top section is removed since its ruining the layout.

    If you can able to customize the styles by yourself for header top in supreme, then you can get that setting back in customizer by placing this text in code snippet. https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/

    
    
    remove_action( 'customize_register', 'sd_dt_remove_header_top_from_customizer', 20);
    remove_filter('theme_mod_dt_enable_header_top', 'sd_dt_enable_header_top_return_zero');

    Hi Marcus,

    I hope you are using supreme theme. If you have added the code in the snippet and activated it correctly, then you will see a new menu called “Header Top” in customizer

    Hi there. The theme I am using is Supreme Directory. I copied your code and added it to snippets. I saved and activated the code. This option is not in the menu. Did I miss something?

    Thats weird.

    Can you delete that snippet and paste the code in the bottom of supreme theme’s functions.php file?

    Let me know if it still not showing that Header Top menu.
