Introduction
Updating the LinkedIn icon allows you to use a different style or match it with a custom icon set used across your site. While the BuddyBoss Theme doesn’t provide a built-in option for this, you can achieve the change using a CSS snippet that overrides the icon content.
Custom Workaround
To replace the default LinkedIn icon:
- In your WordPress Dashboard, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options.
- Scroll to the Custom Codes section and toggle Enable CSS.
Append the following CSS code (replace \edee with the Unicode value of your preferred icon):
.bb-icon-brand-linkedin:before {
content: '\edee' !important;
}
- Click Save Changes.
Troubleshooting and FAQs
Q: The icon didn’t change—what should I check?
A: Ensure that your theme or plugin is loading the icon font set containing the new Unicode value. If not, the icon may not render properly.
