Editing share icons - by americanpatriot

Wow, I think that’s a first. Of all the themes I’ve purchased both on Themeforest and off this is the first theme that doesn’t include follow us social icons.

Why, in the shortcodes.php file, is the following code added if the theme doesn’t provide follow us social icons? I noticed it was commented out but did you try and add them and it didn’t work or were you planning on adding them in an update?

/*
add_shortcode('follow', 'etheme_follow_shortcode');

function etheme_follow_shortcode($atts, $content = null) {
	$sliderrandomid = rand();
	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
		"title" => '',
		'twitter' => '',
		'facebook' => '',
		'pinterest' => '',
		'email' => '',
	), $atts));
	ob_start();
	?>

    <div class="social-icons">

    	<?php if($title){?> 
    	<span><?php echo $title; ?></span>
		<?php }?>

    	<?php if($facebook){?> 
    	<a href="<?php echo $facebook; ?>" target="_blank"  class="icon facebook tip-top" data-tip="Follow us on Facebook"><span class="icon-facebook"></span></a>
		<?php }?>
		<?php if($twitter){?> 
		       <a href="<?php echo $twitter; ?>" target="_blank" class="icon twitter tip-top" data-tip="Follow us on Twitter"><span class="icon-twitter"></span></a>
		<?php }?>
		<?php if($email){?> 
		       <a href="mailto:<?php echo $email; ?>" target="_blank" class="icon email tip-top" data-tip="Send us an email"><span class="icon-envelop"></span></a>
		<?php }?>
		<?php if($pinterest){?> 
		       <a href="<?php echo $pinterest; ?>" target="_blank" class="icon pintrest tip-top" data-tip="Follow us on Pinterest"><span class="icon-pinterest"></span></a>
		<?php }?>
     </div>
    	

	<?php
	$content = ob_get_contents();
	ob_end_clean();
	return $content;
}

Alright, thanks. I placed a request in the suggestion area of the forum to add follow us social icons. In today’s environment where everyone uses social media it’s unheard of for a website to not have follow me social icons. I still can’t believe they weren’t included in this theme. It’s totally unacceptable.
