We just couldn’t get those Jetpack social icons to appear on the Portfolio and Blog.
So the workaround was to re-create the footer by hand with FontAwesome instead.
Glad you found a workaround.
I’d like to try to replicate the issue though, so we can get it fixed in the theme itself if needed.
Would it be possible to provide the specific code you put into the text widget so I can give it a go on a test site? Thanks!
Or if you were using a different widget, could you let me know which one? Thanks!
