Hello,

The social icons are published in a custom html module. The code used for this area is shown here:

You would just change these links and insert your own href url:

<a href="" target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-facebook">[/url]

Good day.

I have read and followed the instructions below as well as viewed the code from the link.

However no matter how many times in insert the link address, it does not work.

And the code from the Arthur template example is different from that in my template.

And if I copy and paste your code, or the Arthur template code into my template, it just changes it back to mine after saving.

This is what my code looks like:

Code:
<div class="about_right"><a target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-facebook" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-twitter" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-googleplus" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-pinterest" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a> <a target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-linkedin" rel="noopener noreferrer"></a></div>

This is what your code and the Arthur template example code looks like:

Code:
<div class="about_right">
<a href="" target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-facebook"></a>
<a href="" target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-twitter"></a>
<a href="" target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-googleplus"></a>
<a href="" target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-pinterest"></a>
<a href="" target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-linkedin"></a>
</div>

I must be not removing something else completely, or not including something for it to not save and work??

Kinda of stuck - could you please explain again.

Thank you - Drew

Got it.

Further down the page in the Arthur Template Demo Information, I found an example of a url placed into one of your codes.

I missed "reading between the lines"

This is the code from the Download Bar

Code:
<div class="download_bar">
Arthur is the best Joomla template available on the market today
<a href="http://www.shape5.com/join-now.html" target="_blank" class="readon">Join Today To Download</a>
</div>

The url needs to be "between the quotes"

Code:
<a href="URL Goes Here" target="_blank" class="social_icon ion-social-facebook"></a>

Disregard - got it figured out  Grin

Thank you - Drew
