    I would like to add my social media icons to the right of my navigation area like you can see in this site.

    My test site is here.

    Can someone help me out with this? Thanks.

    That isn't a feature built into the Magazine theme. If you want your social icons up top on every page, then your best bet is to use the "Header Right" widget area and drag the social icon widget of your choice there. The Simple Social Icons plugin is a popular choice.

    Customizing the main navigation area to add your icons is really beyond the scope of this community forum, I think.

    Hmmm..that isn't really a very clean option. Hopefully someone can chime in and give some feedback on how to do it without using a plugin.

    If you don't want to use the theme as it's designed then it's like I said. Customizing the main navigation area to add your icons is really beyond the scope of this community forum.

    @chris,

    I am using the theme as it's designed. I just want to add the social icons there. I'm sure someone can jump in and point me in the right direction.

     

    Thanks.
