Changing Icon Appearance

If you want to edit the appearance of the icons in ways that the options below don't provide, you can do more with custom CSS to match your theme. This video walks through the process:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=hA2rjDwmvms

Option: Add Vimeo and Stack Exchange

To use FontAwesome 4.0+, which drops support for IE7, but adds vimeo.com and stackexchange.com, add this to your theme's functions.php file: add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_use_latest', '__return_true' );

Option: Show Text

To show menu item text in addition to the icons, add this to your theme's functions.php file: add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_hide_text', '__return_false' );

Option: Alternate Icons

To show an alternative icon style, where logos are cut out of signs, , add this to your theme's functions.php file: add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_type', create_function( '', 'return "icon-sign";' ) );

Option: Icon Sizes

To vary icon sizes, add this to your theme's functions.php file: (Default is 2x)

add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_size', create_function( '', 'return "normal";' ) );
add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_size', create_function( '', 'return "large";' ) );
add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_size', create_function( '', 'return "2x";' ) );
add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_size', create_function( '', 'return "3x";' ) );
add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_size', create_function( '', 'return "4x";' ) );

Option: Add More Icons

Add icons from FontAwesome for other URLs. For example, an RSS feed:

add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_networks', 'storm_social_icons_networks');
function storm_social_icons_networks( $networks ) {

    $extra_icons = array (
        '/feed' => array(                  // Enable this icon for any URL containing this text
            'name' => 'RSS',               // Default menu item label
            'class' => 'rss',              // Custom class
            'icon' => 'icon-rss',          // FontAwesome class
            'icon-sign' => 'icon-rss-sign' // May not be available. Check FontAwesome.
        ),
    );

    $extra_icons = array_merge( $networks, $extra_icons );
    return $extra_icons;

}

Option: Change HTML Output

This is useful for developers using the plugin with custom icon sets.

Edit icon HTML output:

add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_icon_html', 'storm_social_icons_icon_html', 10, 4 );

function storm_social_icons_icon_html( $html, $size, $icon, $show_text ) {
    $html = "<i class='$size $icon $show_text'></i>";
    return $html;
}

Edit title HTML output:

add_filter( 'storm_social_icons_title_html', 'storm_social_icons_title_html', 10, 2 );

function storm_social_icons_title_html( $html, $title ){
    $html = "<span class='fa-hidden'>$title</span>";
    return $html;
}

Edit all link attributes (WordPress core filter):

add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_objects', 'storm_wp_nav_menu_objects', 7, 2 );

function storm_wp_nav_menu_objects( $sorted_menu_items, $args ){

    foreach( $sorted_menu_items as &$item ) {

        if ( 0 != $item->menu_item_parent ) {
            // Skip submenu items
            continue;
        }

        // Only apply changes to links containing this text.
        $search_url = 'facebook.com';

        if ( false !== strpos( $item->url, $search_url ) ) {

            // Add a custom class
            $item->classes[] = 'some-custom-class';

            // Add custom HTML inside the link
            $item->title = '<strong>custom html</strong>' . $item->title;

        }
    }

    return $sorted_menu_items;

}

Can you add X icon?

Menu Social Icons is dependent on the FontAwesome icon library. If an icon exists in FontAwesome, you can add a filter for it using the storm_social_icons_networks example shown in the plugin description.

If an icon does not exist in FontAwesome, you can request see FontAwesome's instructions for requesting new icons.

How can I change how the icons are aligned, positioned, colored, sized, etc.

See the tutorial video on editing appearance and the code samples for various options in the plugin description.

Does this plugin install all of FontAwesome?

Yes. The plugin installs the complete FontAwesome package. You can use any of the icons in your HTML.

I don't see FontAwesome anywhere in the plugin!

We load FontAwesome onto your site using NetDNA's Bootstrap CDN service. This makes it load much faster for your users.
