I figured it out. However, I am not sure where you put your css code for behance. I did not find it with the rest of the social media icon information, so I don’t know if you just put it in some random location.

On to my solution. To be clear, the information that you are looking for is going to be located in the footer.php file and the style.css file in your Solid Code Theme Editor found on the wordpress dashboard for your website. The footer.php is how you add the “link” to your footer and the style.css is how you add an image to this new “link”. The footer.php code will look like this:

<li class=”behance”>Behance

look for the following code in your footer.php if you are having trouble finding the right place

<li class=”twitter”

then in order to add an image to the new footer social media link, you will need to have the following code added to your style.css file. In order to find the right place to add this code, look for the following piece of information.

#footer-social-icons li. <– include the period in your search

and you should see a few examples with that format but it would be something more like

#footer-social-icons li.twitter a {
background-image: url(images/social/twitter.png);
}

Now the format that you are going to want will be something like this for behance.

#footer-social-icons li.behance a {
background-image: url(http://www.danilopezstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/behance2-e1444386135359.png);
}

——————————————

To recap, add the following to footer.php:

<li class=”(insert social media name, i.e. twitter”>(insert what your want the link to say when you hover over it)

Then add the following to style.css

#footer-social-icons li.(inserts same social media name as in the li class=””) a {
background-image: url((insert the url of the image you want to be displayed in footer.php));
}

Thank you for helping me. I’ve successfully added instagram and tumblr to my footer.php file and they successfully display on the website. The last part I am having trouble finding is how you were able to add the custom Behance image. I have the icons ready to go for tumblr and instagram. I check the css file and the only information I see about bechance is for positioning. I can’t even find where you added the Behance. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, that looks great! Where can I find that code so I can make edits, too? Also, is it possible for you to give me more specific directions on duplicating the process (because I basically know nothing about coding)? For instance, in the link you sent me https://www.dropbox.com/s/njils3ctn9zqizt/Screenshot%202015-10-06%2011.00.54.png?dl=0 why do some of the social media profiles have links to the site while others do not?

Here is my Behance username/link:

danilopez
https://www.behance.net/danilopez

I have attached a Behance icon to this reply. Let me know if the dimensions need to be changed, though.

Also, what do you mean by FTP access? Do you mean access to my WordPress Dashboard?

Thank you, being shown an example would be very helpful. How can you show me? I am a newbie, so please be thorough with your explanation. Again, thanks a bunch.

I did fill out my social profile accounts according to link/username (for tumblr, Behance, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook). Under “Theme Options,” there are different sections for “Social Profile” and “Footer Options.” There are lots of social media options to fill out under “Social Profile,” but more limited options under “Footer Options.” The result is that I am stuck wondering how to add other social media icons in the footer beyond what is currently available in “Footer Options.”

Hello! I was able to resolve this issue by calling my hosting provider. There was no coding issue, but rather a server issue.
Thanks anyways!
