WordPress. How to rename tooltips on social icons<\/a><\/p>\r\n

In order to change tooltips text on the social icons, you should edit ‘static-social-networks.php’<\/strong> file. Log into the dashboard of your site and navigate to the Appearance> Editor> themeXXXXX <\/strong>section. Find the needed file in the list of the available items – ‘static-social-networks.php’<\/strong>. You will have to modify the php code:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Copy the current array for the social networks (that should be around line 8):\r\n <\/p>\r\n

    $social_networks  = array("twitter", "google", "facebook",  "rss"); <\/pre>\r\n
    Paste  it below and edit it to look as follows:<\/p>\r\n
    $social_networks_titles  = array(__('Follow us on Twitter, CURRENT_THEME),__('Follow us on google',  CURRENT_THEME),\r\n__('Follow us on facebook', CURRENT_THEME), __('Follow us on  RSS', CURRENT_THEME));<\/pre>\r\n

    ‘Follow us on …’<\/strong> text can be replaced with your custom one. This text specifically will appear as a tooltip. <\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  2. Then scroll down and locate the following piece of code (it should be around line  12):\r\n
    echo  '<li><a href="'.of_get_option($social_networks[$i]).'"  title="'.$social_networks[$i].'">\r\n<img  src="'.of_get_option($social_networks[$i]."_icon").'"  alt="'.$social_networks[$i].'"><\/a><\/li>';<\/pre>\r\n
    Modify that to look as follows below: <\/p>\r\n
    echo  '<li><a href="'.of_get_option($social_networks[$i]).'"  title="'.$social_networks_titles[$i].'">\r\n  <img  src="'.of_get_option($social_networks[$i]."_icon").'"  alt="'.$social_networks_titles[$i].'"><\/a><\/li>';<\/pre>\r\n
    \"WordPress_How_to_change_tooltips_names_on_social_icons_2\"<\/a>\r\n<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
    Update the file  and refresh your site. Tooltips text should be successfully modified.<\/p>\r\n
