    I am trying to add a social icon to the shortcode set, but can not find where the images are held. Where are the social icon images kept? Or are they being pulled from somewhere?

    I had the same problem, and just solved it :) use these shortcodes

    [social_icon_wrap]
    [social_icon type="facebook" url="http://www.facebook.com/username"]
    [social_icon type="twitter" url="http://twitter.com/username"]
    [/social_icon_wrap]

    And here are your options:

    facebook, twitter, linkedin, google-plus,

    pinterest, github, behance, dribbble, instagram,

    lastfm, vimeo, forrst, skype, picasa, youtube, flickr,

    tumblr, blogger, delicious, digg, friendfeed, wordpress,

    foursquare, xing, soundcloud, slideshare, fivehundredpx,

    weibo, stack-overflow, vine, vkontakte, rss

    Hallo everybody.

    Where exactly should I enter those shortcodes? I am a complete noob, so I would be very thankful for detailed answer.

    @EvgenAntipin: where are you trying to add the icons?

    From the sidebar in your admin dashboard, go to Appearance > Widgets.

    From the Available Widgets, drag and drop a TEXT widget to wherever you see SOCIAL ICONS and add the code to it. Save it, and refresh your homepage. You should see them.

    [social_icon_wrap]
    [social_icon type="facebook" url="http://www.facebook.com/username"]
    [social_icon type="twitter" url="http://twitter.com/username"]
    [/social_icon_wrap]

    Can’t get the social icons to appear in the header. Using the correct shortcakes, but no luck.

    Actually I can’t get the social icons to display anywhere, including the header, footer, and sidebar. I verified that I am using the correct short codes, but no luck.

    Hi, put the social icon shortcodes inside the Text widget in the social icon widget areas.

    Thanks

    Hi, are you guys planning to add more social icons? I find that Yelp is very necessary as that helps drive business
