Adding Whatsapp Icon to footer in Dawn

Topic summary

A user seeks to add a WhatsApp icon to their Dawn theme footer alongside existing social media icons (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok). The theme editor doesn’t natively support WhatsApp, requiring custom code.

Proposed Solutions:

  • One suggestion involves copying and renaming an existing social media link in the code (estimated ~20 minutes using VS Code)
  • A PageFly representative offers specific code to paste into the footer.liquid file, with positioning adjustments to follow

Current Status:

  • The helper sent code details via private message with an accompanying screenshot showing placement
  • Two additional users have requested access to the same code solution
  • The discussion remains open as the original poster hasn’t confirmed implementation success

I’m trying to add a whatsapp icon to the footer, along side Facebook, Instagram, Tik tok etc.

Is anyone able to provide the code and the liquid file it goes in?

Hi, @DeeLT
For example in the Dawn theme, to add one more social media link, the easiest way is to copy and rename one of the existing link.
It’s near 20 mins to pull, update and push the code using the VS code.

Hi @DeeLT Please check if the footer section in the theme editor supports displaying the footer icon. If not, please send the url so I can help you add code to display it.

Thank you,

Best regards,

The theme editor does not allow whatsapp to be added. It would need to be coded.
