Hi Andrew,
please add the network XING (the German LinkedIn) in your social icon menus. An icon at Font Awesome is available.
Best regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan

Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. I’ll definitely have this in the next version. To hotfix, please, try inserting the following into a Custom CSS plugin or child theme style.css file:

/* Xing Social Icon */
.social-links-menu ul li a[href*="xing"]:before {
  content: "\f168";
}

Is there a different LinkedIn icon for the German version? Could you perhaps confirm when I can find that on the FontAwesome site?

Hi Andrew,
the Icon at Font Awesome is ‘fa-xing’ (I don’ t think you take the square ones). I mean ‘the German LinkedIn’ in the figurative sense – it’s an independent company . . .
Best regards

Super, glad to hear that helped for now. Thanks for explaining 🙂

If you wanted to use the square icon you could change the custom CSS to:

/* Xing Social Icon */
.social-links-menu ul li a[href*="xing"]:before {
  content: "\f169";
}

In the next update I’ll work in an option that will output the square variant of an icon if a class is added to the menu item. I’ll document that when it comes out.

Thanks again.

For other interested:

If you wanted to use alternatve icons with the new CSS since Ultra version 1.0.2 you could change the custom CSS to:

/* Alternative Facebook Square Icon */

.menu a[href*="facebook.com"]:before {
  content: "\f082";
}
