    I was told not to add to another post in the support area regarding this issue but to post my question in the proper sub-forum. Since this has to do with the alora theme, I’m hoping this is the right place. If not, please let me know how to get to where you would like me ask the question.

    The issue is that I’m using header option #3 in the alora theme with social buttons in the color band at the top. The buttons are there and the hover text shows properly, but the buttons themselves are only a blue square and all three (facebook, twitter, and linkedin) look identical. If I switch to header option #2, which has only a transparent band, then the icons are there, but only in a muted gray format.

    When I previously posted this inquiry in the wrong forum, I was asked which browser I was using. The issue presents itself identically as described using both Firefox and IE. With Chrome, there is a very very slight depiction of the social media logo, but it certainly doesn’t stand out that anyone would know the social media buttons were there.

    Thanks

    I got on the laptop this morning and the display, with the two CSS entries in place, is very good in Firefox, which was the worst of the three browsers. So this issue seems to be very much a function of whatever monitor the user has rather than the browsers themselves. So far, I’ve only seen the issue with the social icons. Everything else seems to display fine regardless of the monitor.

    I’ll assume this is something to be address in your updates in general rather than a fix for a specific user, so I’ll consider this thread closed and look for it to be addressed in the future. BTW, I’m very happy with the Alora theme.

    I have the same issue with the social icons on a mobile device.

    I am using Chrome Browser on a Droid Maxx with Android 4.4. The site shows up with the rollover style icons and they appear as muted squares with no logo.

    Can you please let me know where that code needs to go? I have the same issue with the social icons not being obviously there at all.

    For everyone having issues with mobile social icons not showing up give my suggestion a try from this post:
    http://theme4press.com/support/current-themes-group5/alora-forum27/mobile-issues-with-alora-thread1021/
    The theme is filtering what it does based on screen size (this is what responsive means) because of that viewing this theme on smaller screen sizes may result in the social icons not showing up, or only their backgrounds showing up. The reason is because it is trying to find an icon image file that doesn’t currently exist. If you comment out a chunk of code from the original style.css file it will force the theme to use the icon image file it uses on the larger screen sizes.
    This worked for me, and hopefully it will work for you as well.
    If you do try this, make sure you backup your style.css file just in case you want to undo the changes you made.
