1. I am missing “Threema” in the Social Icons List. Is it possible to add it manually?

2. Incredibly beautiful, congratulations on the THEME.
   I would like to ask you kindly please include the whatsapp icon. Every website needs fast contact nowadays and this option is widely used.
   Thank you very much

3. Could you please implement icons for Fediverse networks like Mastodon, Pixelfed etc.?

4. what do I need to write to keep the silly social icons from flipping over on hover? tried negating the transition and transform for the .socials

5. How do you change the size of the icons? I would like to make them larger.

   1. .socials {
      font-size: 1.5em;
      }

6. Hello,
   I have followed all steps mentioned before (creation of the social links in the menu and selection of the locations they need to appear, e.g. in the header) and no icons are appearing… I suppose the icons should appear next to the items of the primary menu ? I don’t know what to do… :/
   Thanks for your help and best regards,
   Philippe

7. Hello, is it possible to set the size of these icons somewhere? So that, for example, they would be bigger in the sideburn?

8. How can I change an icon with the Whatsapp icon.

   I mean, what should I have to type in the class I made for that icon (chain icon appear by default) as in this manual explains

   Thanks!

   1. Include callto: in the URL or use the skype classname. You can find the full list of supported social icons and their manual classnames in the tutorial.

9. Nice tutorial. When I was setting up a local site using MAMP, Kahuna theme brought all the social icons automatically. I think so. When I was setting up an actual website on web host, Kahuna didn’t show any options to add social icons (links) automatically. But, I can managed to bring the social icons following this tutorial.

   Now, I am struggling with sliders. I wish Kahuna and Fluida themes come with featured post slider. I saw your tutorial for image slider. Some other WP themes come with nice post sliders. But, they lack configuration features of Fluida and Kahuna themes.

   I don’t like image showing style of Fluida. It crops and show images in bad way. It has good animation while scrolling. So, I am using Kahuna now. Its image style is ok.

   I tried more than 50 themes. I like your themes, because you are providing great configuration options. 👍🏽

10. Hi!

    It would be nice to have SlidesShare icon.

    Thanks,
    Claudia

12. Hi,
    so I have to be a case, I’m on Facebook, Twitter, Google +, Pinterest, Tumblr, Linkedin and I indicate my RSS feed
    That’s why I find that proposing the new method for Tempera, Nirvana, Mantra .etc in addition that the 5 icons method would be a better one.
    I did not say that replace one method by another, but give the choice to use it by adding the social menu method.
    Thank you

13. Would love to see TripAdvisor added to the social media list

14. Hi,
    Do you add this feature to the update of old themes like Tempera, Parabola, Mantra?
    This allows to go beyond the 5 links for these themes, thanks

    1. We will not be changing the way social icons work in our settings-page based themes since a lot of sites already use the existing functionality.
       We feel that 5 is a reasonable (visual and functionality-wise) number of concurrent social icons. For the specific cases where more are required an alternative social icons plugin can be used instead.

15. Does this apply to the Septera Theme? 🙂

    1. This tutorial applies to all our newer customize-based themes (including Septera). I have updated the tutorial to include this information.

16. Great help – THANKS!

17. Also an email icon. Not gmail just for mailto: links

    1. An email icon already exists and can be applied using the ’email’ classname on the menu item – see our social icons tutorial.

18. Would love to see an IMDb icon.

19. I just changed from Nirvana to Verbosa and I do miss the goodreads icon which was included in Nirvana. I love your themes a lot but isn’t it a bit funny that the “author” theme doesn’t connect do goodreads? 😀 Can I add it manually to the social menu?
    Thanks 🙂

    1. We haven’t crossed by a social icons font that includes Goodreads, unfortunately. If we find one, we’ll include it.

20. First of all, I do love all your themes and just changed from Nirvana to Verbosa – because I liked the idea of an author-like theme for an author. So I really would like a social icon link to my goodreads author page … is there no way to add an icon manually?
    Thanks 🙂

21. A keybase icon would be nice, or the ability to easily add a custom icon to the bar.

22. Hello,
    how does Skype social icon work? When I try to use:

    callto:nickname

    it doesn’t work. Same with callto://nickname, call://nicknname or even skype:nickname etc.

    Thank you very much for reply.

23. Thanks for the tutorial and for FLUIDA

24. Thanks you very much dude! Just learning how to use wordpress and this was quite on point

25. how can I use Additional custom classname icons without link?

26. what is about spreadshirt? That icon would be nice

27. Is there a deviantArt icon?

28. I mean OK.ru is missing.

29. There isn’t Russian social network OK.ru. How can I add it ?

30. Hi, is there a class name for Periscope icon?

    1. A Periscope icon is not available in the icon font we’re using.
