To whom it may concern,
I would like to link to my Researchgate.net profile.
Is there a way to add a Resarchgate social media icon for the contact page?

Thank you for the prompt response.
I understand the css code in that thread. However, in using this theme I’ve only used short codes. Could you plz explain where I add the CSS code within the shortcodes?

Best,

Hi, I followed the forum and did the following:
Appearance>>Theme Options>>Custom CSS.

However, when I add another social media link and specify tumblr in the social_icon type=”tumblr”, but nothing happens.

Also, I would like to bring a new icon as a png / jpeg. Can I do so by simply changing the URL (or being it into the Media)?

.social li a.tumblr { min-width: 37px; min-height: 37px; text-indent: -999em; background-image: url(“enter new url”);…

Hi,
This is an example; This custom css code will turn the twitter to soundcloud. You can watch the steps and change an icon to researchgate as well.

.social li a.twitter { min-width: 22px; min-height: 22px; text-indent: -999em; background-image: url("http://cdn1.iconfinder.com/data/icons/windows8_icons_iconpharm/26/soundcloud.png"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center; }

Thanks

Thank you. I was able to follow the example and to add researchgate image, but it’s too large. Any idea what the scale should be for the icon to fit in the circle?

Best,

    text-indent: -999em;
    background-image: url(https://davidbar-el.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/rg2-e1587416422634.jpg);
