How To Change Instagram Icon To Being The Word 'Instagram' On Mobile (Dawn Theme)

Topic summary

A user wanted to replace the Instagram icon with the text “Instagram” in their mobile menu dropdown on the Dawn theme.

Initial Solution:

  • Custom CSS was provided to hide the Instagram SVG icon and display “Instagram” text instead
  • The code targeted mobile devices (max-width: 768px) using media queries

Refinement:

  • The first implementation showed white text with an underline
  • Updated CSS was provided to change the text color to black (#000) and remove the underline using text-decoration: none

Resolution:
The issue was successfully resolved with the refined CSS code added to the base.css file. The solution allows text-only display in the mobile menu as requested.

Thanks in advance!

Is there a way I can change the Instagram icon to be a word instead of their logo? I am looking to only have words displayed in the drop down menu on the mobile version. Example shown below.
