    How do I get the icons to show?<\/dt>\n

    It's simple, under Appearance -> Widgets, add the Icon Links Widget to any widget area.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is it possible to change the order of the links?<\/dt>\n

    You can drag and drop to reorder links. The same as you would reorder widgets within widget areas.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What are the new tab and no follow checkboxes?<\/dt>\n

    The new tab checkbox, will ensure that the link is opened in a new tab when clicked on. The no follow checkbox will ensure the link does not get followed by robots that index your site, should you need the feature.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What is the classes I should use?<\/dt>\n

    You can simply find these icons in the FontAwesome Cheatsheet<\/a> and insert only the icon name.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I add any icons?<\/dt>\n

    Can I change the layout or styling?<\/dt>\n

    Am I restricted to any amount of icons?<\/dt>\n

    Not at all, you can simply add one, and everytime you save, you would be prompted to add another. When you done, simply leave the last field blank.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
