Hi

here my question regarding inserting the social media icons in catch box theme:

I inserted them via the theme, but they only show up on the bottom of each each page and then only in pale grey. This is not what I want. I would like to have them higher up and in original colours. Is that possible and if so how?

Have a good weekend!

@MMchen: You cannot change the position in Catch Box Free Theme. You need to upgrade to pro version then you will get this Social Icon as widget.

But yes you can change to make it like the hover state from your custom css box. Just send me your site URI and then I will give you the css that you can add in.

@Mark Argentino: You can add the following CSS in “Appearance => Theme Options => Custom CSS” box
```
.social-profile ul li.facebook a { background-position: 0 -44px; }
.social-profile ul li.twitter a { background-position: -44px -44px; }
.social-profile ul li.google-plus a { background-position: -528px -44px; }
.social-profile ul li.linkedin a { background-position: -176px -44px; }
.social-profile ul li.rss a { background-position: -88px -44px; }
```

Hi Sakin,

This worked perfectly! Thanks for the help.

I see there is an update to the catchbox theme. Now I have to re-read the areas of this help section where I have modified my theme so when I update I don’t lose all my customizations. I’ve created the child theme, but I also think I modified the functions file at some point too.

Also, won’t I lose my custom css, like the coding above, if I update the theme?

Thanks again,
Mark

@Mark Argentino: All the changes from Theme Options panel and child theme is all good. You will not loose your customization. Only core theme files such as functions.php, index.php, style.css and so on is not allowed to change directly. If changed directly you will loose it when you update the theme. You can change any function of parent theme with your child theme.

Hi Sakin,

You were correct, I updated the catchbox theme and everything stayed the same, what a great program!

I think it’s time to upgrade to catchboxpro as I’m very compfortable with this theme and the response time and accuracy of your assistance in these forms is excellent!

Thanks again,
Mark
