Hey Sakin,
I would like to add your default div class=”catchwebtools-social” into the <div class=”site-info”>.. and in additon an indivual link, standing alone. All of those should be inline but separated, icons floating right. trying to use the footer wifget area doesn’t help, cause it is above the site info…
How can I manage this on the most simple way? I’m not a freak on this stuff.
Website is in maintainance, so I cant post al link. Using Catch eversest free.
Thank you in advance. Gina

@GinaL: This is bit complex. So, I recommend you to hire customizer. I can guide you the process. Fist you need to build child theme and then in child theme you need to call the social icons function and hook it with catcheverest_before_site_info() action hook.

[GinaL]

Thank you, I would be so glad, if you can guide me. I have a child theme and I’ve done some experiments with the footer inside – no chance alone. Would you be so nice and tell me how I can hook the Icons an show them on my favorite position. Thank you so much in advance at greetings from Bavaria.

@GinaL: So, you are using Catch Web Tools Plugin and Child theme of Catch Everest Free Theme. Then you can add the following code in your child theme functions.php file are as below:

if ( function_exists( 'catchwebtools_get_social_icons' ) ) :
	add_action( 'catcheverest_site_generator', 'catcheverest_child_social', 5 );
endif;

function catcheverest_child_social() {
	echo catchwebtools_get_social_icons();	
}

[GinaL]

So I’ve done the call like this
<div id=”site-generator” class=”container”>
<?php
/**
* catcheverest_before_site_info hook
*/
do_action( ‘catcheverest_before_site_info’ ); ?>

<div class=”site-info”>
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘catchwebtools_social_icons’ ) ) catchwebtools_social_icons(); ?>
<?php

Is it the right position? What is the next step?

[GinaL]

argh, sorry did not see your post..
I need to do this in the function php? I’ve worked with the footer 🙁
I will change this immediately..

[Sakin]

@GinaL: Yes in your child theme functions.php file

[GinaL]

If done this at the end of the functions php, but it causes:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare catcheverest_custom_header_setup() (previously declared in /homepages/6/d457812107/htdocs/wp-content/themes/catch-everest/inc/custom-header.php:39) in /homepages/6/d457812107/htdocs/wp-content/themes/catch-everest/inc/custom-header.php on line 79

Any idea, wrong place for inserting?

[Sakin]

@GinaL: Look at the code I gave you. I haven’t told you to change anything in custom header. Just build child theme and in your child theme functions.php file you need to add the following code.

if ( function_exists( 'catchwebtools_get_social_icons' ) ) :
	add_action( 'catcheverest_site_generator', 'catcheverest_child_social', 5 );
endif;

function catcheverest_child_social() {
	echo catchwebtools_get_social_icons();	
}

[GinaL]

done, sorry it was my fault, I’ve copy the whole php into the child theme’s functions..what a *
Now I can see the icons left in site info. Would you mind to help me, get them in right floating position.

[Sakin]

@GinaL: You shouldn’t add all codes in you child theme. Child theme is a place where you add the additional codes needed. As child theme automatically take the parent theme codes and no need to add it again.

You can add the following CSS in your Child Theme style.css

.catchwebtools-social {
    display: block;
    float: right;
    margin: 0;
}

[GinaL]

Thank you so much, it works. Now I have to do some experiments, how I can layout my link and the other content of site info in one row. Although..would be obliged you know a simple hint 🙂

[Sakin]

@GinaL: Sorry I cannot get that. Please use Hire a Customizer.
