Footer menu social icon size

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner encountered an issue after updating to version 15.2: custom CSS controlling social media icon sizes in the footer was lost and no longer applies.

Problem Details:

  • The user previously resized footer social icons using custom CSS in the footer section
  • After the 15.2 update, this CSS code disappeared
  • Screenshots show the icons are currently displaying at an undesired size

Attempted Solutions:

  • Multiple community members provided CSS code snippets to resize the icons
  • Solutions involved adding code to theme.liquid (above </head> tag), base.css file, or above </body> tag
  • Suggested code targeted elements like li.list-social__item svg, a.link.list-social__link, and specific icon classes

Current Status:

  • Unresolved - None of the proposed CSS solutions have worked for the original poster
  • The user confirmed trying multiple code variations in different locations without success
  • One responder acknowledged difficulty identifying the root cause and suggested their solution as the best available option

Hey Everyone,

I just did the 15.2 update, and my social media icons CSS did not copy over. Any ideas?

Thank you kindly!

Hi @chrisc1987

What do you mean, you want these icons to be smaller?

I hope you are well. You can follow our instructions below:
1/ Shopify admin > Online store > Edit code: https://prnt.sc/M4p-gua99Uf4
2/ Search for “theme.liquid” file: https://prnt.sc/b6xveIKe-Rh2
3/ Open the file and search for tag and add the following code above tag: https://prnt.sc/KWtKYyZkDtYJ

Here is the code for Step 3:

{% style %}
li.list-social__item svg {
    width: 24px !important;
}
{% endstyle %}

Please let me know if it works. Thank you!Best,

Hi @DaisyVo

I would like to be able to resize them as I did before the update, using the custom CSS in the footer section. as it was before. but after the update, it removed the CSS code. not sure why.

Hi Chrisc1987

You can try to follow this step
Step 1: Go to Edit code
Step 2: Find file base.css and add this code at the end of the file

a.link.list-social__link {
    height: 100px !important;
    width: 100px !important;
}

svg.icon.icon-twitter,
svg.icon.icon-instagram,
svg.icon.icon-facebook {
    height: 90px;
    width: 90px;
}

Result:

Best,
