How to Change the LinkedIn Icon in the Users’ Profile Page

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:

1. In your WordPress Dashboard, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options.
   
2. 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;

}

3. Click Save Changes.
   

Note: Any changes made using custom code are considered “custom work.” For more information, please refer to our Support Policy.

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.
