  I would like to know why isn’t a Bloglovin icon available with the themes that have “in house” built social media icons.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi Anna,

  Please note that it is designed by the theme author and I believe most (or even all) social icon menus that are built into the theme on WordPress.com do not provide Bloglovin icons unfortunately. The ones I see often are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Pinterest.

  However, you can add one yourself to a Text Widget as seen here:

  Add Social Media Buttons to Your Sidebar or Footer

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  I do use Text widgets…but not having a Bloglovin icon has prevented me from choosing the themes with built-in icons. The icons that are included are everything from Facebook to Dribble and 500px (which are more niche). Some of the themes are designed by Auttomatic and not an independent designer, who might not have a clue what Bloglovin is!
  Thank you!

  You’re welcome. If there’s a Premium Theme you like with a social icon menu, it’s a good idea to contact the theme author as every premium theme has their own forum. They may be able to add it for you. For example, the Swell theme’s forum can be found here:

  https://premium-themes.forums.wordpress.com/forum/swell

  On every premium theme’s support page you will find a bright red box that links you to that theme’s forum as seen here:

  Cheers!
