Social Media Links in footer

[Daniel]

Hi BuddyBoss team!

The links in the footer appear even when there is no link saved in the Theme Personalizer. I had fixed it on my installation but after the update, I had to go back in and change it again.

Maybe this is by design so that people that are new to the theme see them and dig into the theme to personalize the links. If so, then I will be have to change this on each update?

All I have to do is change !== to != where you compare if the link is empty or not. Which makes me think that it is not by design because you are validating if they are emtpy and they are.

<!-- display social icons if added in Theme Customizer -->
<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'boss_link_facebook' ) !== '') : ?>
	<li><a class="link-facebook" title="<?php _e( "Facebook", 'buddyboss' ); ?>" href="<?php echo esc_url( get_theme_mod( 'boss_link_facebook' ) ); ?>" target="_blank"><span></span></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'boss_link_twitter' ) !== '') : ?>
	<li><a class="link-twitter" title="<?php _e( "Twitter", 'buddyboss' ); ?>" href="<?php echo esc_url( get_theme_mod( 'boss_link_twitter' ) ); ?>" target="_blank"><span></span></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'boss_link_linkedin' ) !== '') : ?>
	<li><a class="link-linkedin" title="<?php _e( "LinkedIn", 'buddyboss' ); ?>" href="<?php echo esc_url( get_theme_mod( 'boss_link_linkedin' ) ); ?>" target="_blank"><span></span></a></li>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php if ( get_theme_mod( 'boss_link_googleplus' ) !== '') : ?>
	<li><a class="link-googleplus" title="<?php _e( "Google+", 'buddyboss' ); ?>" href="<?php echo esc_url( get_theme_mod( 'boss_link_googleplus' ) ); ?>" target="_blank"><span></span></a></li>
