I can't do it for some reason. I've changed the icon names with no success.

<i class="large icon-facebook"></i></li><li><i class="large icon-twitter"></i></li><li><i class="large icon-linkedin"></i>

I've looked in the css and img directories, and it looks like it calls to the icomoon ultimate font. I've tried using coffeecup icon names, and icomoon names, neither work. I'm only able to get the four default social icons to display.

Thanks in advance for any help.

No dice. I was basically doing what the videos demonstrated. When I change the icon name to something else on the icon list, neither icon is displayed. I've tested in chrome and firefox. I can see the default icons, but no other icons will display for me.

Why your files are in .txt format? it should be HTML & CSS format jut save and upload your project file.here.

You can't just upload main CSS and HTML file, there are few CSS and js file as well . by doing this you have broken whole site infra.

Note: just upload the project file, its much easier.

I think that's for sharing on the forum.
Alex, Can you share a link to your site? It may help others to help you.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric is correct, I couldn't post the files in their native format, so I converted to .txt.

Ok now clear . Regarding to your initial problem changing Icon in HTML document wont take effect because there is no style applied for that class in your css file .
The social media icon in RLM is just place holder and after export you have to add your own styles to each icon.

Example:
.icon-facebook {
color: gray;
}
.icon-twitter{
color: blue;
}
.icon-linkedin{
color: black;
}
.icon-google-plus{
color: red;
}

Okay, so I have to edit the css AND the html. That makes sense. I don\'t remember doing that with my previous sites, but I can certainly work with it.

Thanks!

No dice. Even with a custom css, changing "facebook" to "facebook-2" results in no icon at all. I started a new project, inserted the social icons, and then simply edited the html, and "facebook-2" displayed properly.

So that made me think something had been corrupted in my original project during export. I reloaded the RLMP software form the coffeecup site, and reinstalled. I then exported, changed the facebook identifier in the html, and..... same result, no visible icon.

Also tried a different browser, and uploaded site files to server with no positive result. I'm slowly going insane!
