  i need to add some extra social network icons as my client is Russian

  what is the best way to do this?
  i have the icons already.
  can i substitute the icon in the image folder for say VIMEO with VK and then just add the link in the VIMEO column?

  or maybe there is a better way?

  thank you

  i should add im refering to the social icons in the top right of the header.
  not the product sharing icons.

  Hi, the easiest was is to find the icon image in the theme folder via FTP on your server. Choose one that you don’t need and replace it by your image of choice, simply upload it with the same name so it gets replaced. 🙂

  Open the image in an image editing program like Photoshop or Gimp and replace only the little image. If you need dedicated help please feel free to hire a developer of your trust to assist.

  Oh, I see, we need to modify the php files as well. Can you show me your website so I can see where we need to modify the code?

  Cheers!

  Try opening shortcodes.php and modify the line

  				$social_icons .= '<li class="dribbble"><a href="http://www.dribbble.com/'.$dribbble.'" target="_blank">Dribbble</a></li>'."\n";
  

  to

  				$social_icons .= '<li class="dribbble"><a href="YOURLINK.COM" target="_blank">Dribbble</a></li>'."\n";
