  Hello!

  I’m trying to change the color of the Facebook icon on my website. It is currently pink, due to my chosen theme. I am using the Social Media menu to place it on my page. I need to know where to change the CSS. Do I change it in the Additional CSS part or under the Social Media Menu (there’s a box that says CSS Classes). I have the Premium plan, so I’m able to make these changes. Thanks!

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

  Hi there,

  Were you able to change the icon color? I see a black Facebook social icon in the footer of your site. Is that how you wanted set up?

  Let us know if you have any questions.

  Thanks,

  Hi! I finally just removed the pink Facebook logo and created a footer menu (putting the Facebook logo there). My next question is is there a way to move the three logos in the footer menu to the top of the page (Goodreads, Facebook, Amazon)? Thanks!

  Yes. I would suggest using a social links menu: https://wordpress.com/support/menus/social-links-menu/

  I tried that and Facebook was the only icon I could get and it was pink. I couldn’t figure out how to change the color, so I removed it and added the footer menu. I like the footer menu better, but would like it at the top of my page, not bottom. How do I get it moved to the very top, right of my page? The social links menu put the Facebook icon in the middle, right above HOME on the homepage. I didn’t care for that position.

  I understand. Take a look at these site demo pages to see how the themes are displaying the social icons towards the top of the page. That seems more in line with what you’re wanting to create.

  I agree with everything you said about the icons being “off” with their current location.

  I do have one more question, but it has nothing to do with colors or Facebook icons. :) When I put in a slideshow, is there a way to put a link on some of the pictures?

  It’s not possible to do that in the slideshow block at this time. It is something that we are working to include.
