Social Menu – Changing Twitter to X and Adding Threads

[adam1]

Is it possible that the theme can be updated to change Twitter to X and add Threads? I am very happy with the theme so don’t really want to change it just because the icons are outdated.

@ADAM1, currently it is not possible to release an update by changing the Twitter logo to X. However we can help you to change the Twitter logo to X with the help of Additional CSS.

Regarding adding threads – you can use a plugin by Smash Balloon
here is the link – https://wordpress.org/plugins/search/twitter+feed/

@PSINK Ok. Can you kindly advise on how I can update the logo via additional CSS?

In reference to Threads, I meant Meta’s Threads.

Can you please share your site URL? We will take a look and provide you CSS

Regarding Meta’s Threads is it Instagram?

My website is: https://www.shanklinholidayhomes.co.uk

For Meta’s Threads, no, it isn’t Instagram. It is a new platform similar to Twitter/X that runs on apps and at threads.net

To override the old Twitter logo with the new X logo, please follow these steps:

1. Upload the X logo: Add the PNG of the X logo to your media library. You can download the logo from this https://we.tl/t-XRb24xT0ow.

2. Follow the tutorial: Watch the screen recording for a step-by-step guide on how to implement the change: https://demo.wenthemes.com/education-soul/wp-content/uploads/sites/69/2024/06/icons8-twitterx-15.png.

3. Add CSS: Insert the following CSS into the “Additional CSS” section of your theme:

.education_soul_widget_social ul li a[href*=”twitter.com”]:before {
content: “” !important;
background-image: url(https://demo.wenthemes.com/education-soul/wp-content/uploads/sites/69/2024/06/icons8-twitterx-15.png);
padding: 39px;
margin-top: 10px !important;
margin-left: 10px !important;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

#colophon ul li a[href*=”twitter.com”]:before {
margin-top: 10px !important;
margin-left: 10px !important;
}

4. Update the URL: Ensure you replace the URL in the background-image property with the URL of the X logo you uploaded to your media library.

Regarding Meta’s Threads, there may be plugins available that help you showcase Threads on your WordPress site. I recommend searching for a suitable plugin to integrate this feature.
