Is it possible in your theme to place a widget there? If so then do it via the widget – if not, then please wait for a week or two, we’re currently working on a shortcode which will make it possible that you can place it anywhere you want.
No. I’ll wait. Thank you for your response.
What is the PHP code to place the social icons in the header? I am needing this…
You mean the shortcode? We’ll release a plugin tomorrow or Monday which will have a shortcode you can use.
Hi guys, we have a shortcode now: [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS], please try in the latest version
Do you also have php code that can be placed directly into the templates?
Let me ask the developers…
Hi – thanks for the code, socialdude. Where should we place it? Thanks.
Hi Sagdude, just add the [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS] shortcode in the HTML or Visual views of the Post or Page content editor. See more information on http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-shortcode-in-wordpress/
Hi Socialdude – I’m using the Hueman theme. I tried to insert the code in the Header Settings code and now the actual code shows above the header on my website. What’s really weird is I removed the code from Header Settings code and the actual code still shows above the header on my website! I don’t know how that is possible. Any advice on how to remove it from my website?
Thanks!
Hi Socialdude – Okay, now it’s gone. It took the theme a long time to respond to the changes. At one point, I even removed my header image and it didn’t change on the website. haha Anyway, I’m not sure how to get the icons to show in the header because it doesn’t look like there is any other place to insert code on this theme. There isn’t even a custom css section. If you have any other ideas, please let me know. Thanks!
Hi Sagdude,
I asked the developers about this again and they said:
“I think there is a cache plugin activated on the site or the site itself forces cache to be stored, which is causing the long time to reflect changes. Also, we need screenshots of site, i.e. where user wants to show the icons, and where they are actually showing along with site url.”
Could you please provide those details? You can send them to support at ultimatelysocial dot com.
Rgds, John
