How to Change the Background Color of Social Network Icons in Profile Page

Introduction

BuddyBoss allows you to control general heading colors from the Theme Options, but changing those settings affects multiple elements across your site. If you want to change only the background or color of social network icons displayed in profile fields, you can do so using custom CSS. This guide explains how to change the background color of social network icons in profile page.

Custom Workaround

Before proceeding, make sure you have a complete site backup.

1. Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options in your WordPress admin dashboard
2. Open the Custom Codes section
3. Enable CSS
4. Add the following CSS code:

.social-networks-wrap .social a {

    color: red;

}

5. Click Save Changes

Note: Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The icon color did not change after adding the CSS.
A: Clear your browser cache and any site or CDN cache, then refresh the page.
