Mobile: Social profiles and Social Link Position

[Sonya*]

I use default theme with only slightly changed colors via Easy Mode.

If Social Link Position in is set to Footer, then I can see the social profiles icons in mobile view.

If Social Link Position in is set to Header Background, then I cannot see the social profiles icons in mobile view. Nowhere.

Question: Where the social profiles icons are supposed to be in mobile view, if default theme is set to Header Background?

I have flagged this for one of our developers to take a look at for you, to confirm how it is supposed to show.

Hi Sonya, this looks to be a bug. I'll raise a bug report on this.

This issue has been resolved in 4.6.12, which has just been release. Please let us know if you still have any issues once you have upgraded to that release.

Hi,

In 4.6.12 the setting for Social Link Position is changed to Header Background from Footer after upgrading. This means manually changing it back for every installed theme.

Should the fix honour the existing setting when upgrading as opposed to being a new install?

Many thanks.

I don't believe this should have changed any settings, no. I can certainly test this internally if you have had issues, however that wont of course change back items on your own install. You would need to set those back manually if they have changed

The above observed behaviour is easy to reproduce:

1. Install a 4.6.11 board
2. Set some social links up
3. Create several themes
4. Ensure the "Social link position" value in each of them is set to 'Footer'
5. Check front-end - social links in the footer
6. Upgrade to 4.6.12
7. Check front-end - social links in the header now
8. Check the themes - "Social link position" on all themes is set to 'Header background'

Here's a video of an upgrade of a brand new fresh installation of 4.6.9 (zero customisations, only action performed is to create the social link profiles) to 4.6.12

Oh, no doubt its easy to reproduce. Was just adding it to my list to check. Thank you for that though Nathan, very much appreciated, and added a bug report for it
