Hello,

as this is an excellent theme for reading, i am wondering how to add medium.org to the social nav bar in the header.
I guess it would be a great idea to add it as a standart. But i understand that this is work to do.

So is there any way i can do it manually by myself?

Thank you for your help!

Hi DroidBoy;
I am not experienced with medium.com
Normally you should to to appearance > widgets > header social icons > create a text widget and write your social shortcodes here.
[social_icon_wrap]
[social_icon type="facebook" url="#"]
[social_icon type="twitter" url="#"]
[social_icon type="dribbble" url="#"]
[social_icon type="instagram" url="#"]
[/social_icon_wrap]
Thanks

Hi DroidBoy;
Please check out this related url please. You can create custom social icon. It will also work for you.

Allright, that thread brought me to the solution. Thank you!

And this is how you do it:

You go to Design > Theme Options > Style and insert this code into “Custom CSS”

.social li a.github { min-width: 27; min-height: 28px; text-indent: -999em; background-image: url("http://www.droid-boy.de/wp-content/uploads/medium.png"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; }
.social li a.github:hover { background-color: #32fc8d }

You are accessing my medium.png on my server. So you might download it and up it to your own.

You might also make your own Icon with taking the material from medium itself: https://medium.com/policy/logos-and-brand-guidelines-f1a01a733592

Thank you and enjoy!
