  Hi,

  I am setting up my social links using the IXION theme. For some reason the RSS icon is showing as a WordPress “W” inside a circle. Why isn’t my theme using the three curved lines RSS icon shown in the WordPress support documentation as shown below?

  

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

  Hi @monongahelamsp!

  Each theme is a little different, and some will use different icons. Some, like Facebook and Twitter are pretty universal, but they won’t all handle things like RSS feeds quite the same way.

  You can, however, use this CSS snippet (assuming your site has access to Custom CSS through a Premium Plan or Business Plan) to change feed links to use the RSS icon:

  .jetpack-social-navigation-genericons a[href*='/feed']:before {
      content: 'f413';
  }

  Let me know how it looks! :)

  Thanks for all your help answering my questions. I’ve shown the website to several people in our Main Street group and they are pretty excited about it.
