 * Hey there again!
 * I wanted to make use of the alternative icons (logos inside the squares) and 
   I followed the instructions on the description page to add the line of code in
   my functions file. Unfortunately I couldn’t get it to work. Is there another 
   way to switch over to the alternative signs?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Micky!
 * Can you post the exact code you used, and where you put it?

 * Paul,
 * I posted the code below into my functions.php file
 * add_filter( ‘storm_social_icons_type’, create_function( ”, ‘return “icon-sign”;’));
 * It didn’t alter the look of the icons and the code was showing on the home page
 * I’m guessing I did something wrong

 * For PHP code to work, it must be placed after a `<?php` tag. You should notice
   the top of your `functions.php` file has that very early. Place your code immediately
   after. If you see `?>` nearby, the code should be before it.
