WordPress

Today, I ran accross a small problem with my WordPress theme Sparkling, from Colorlib. I wanted to add Stack Overflow to my icons. It wasn’t included in the theme. Like we can read it in the documentation, the theme supports these links : Facebook, Twitter, Dribbble, Flickr, Google+, Skype, Pinterest.com, LinkedIn, Vimeo, Tumblr, Instagram, RSS, SoundCloud, Foursquare, Github, Spotify and emails. If you want to add any other website, you’ll find yourself in the same situation I was in. Luckily, you are reading this article and I will guide you step by step! 🙂

On the boards I found this thread about social icons. While reading the replies I discovered how to add new icons to the social media option the theme offers! I thought I’d share the information to avoid people searching a long time like I did.

In this article I will guide you step by step through installing WordPress on your server. For this tutorial I am using OVH France to host my website.

I want to clarify that I do not use OVH Canada. Long story short, it has been 5 years since I am using OVH France and I am very satisfied with the service I receive. Recently, OVH has intalled servers in Montreal. I had therefore promised myself that for my next website I would give a shot at OVH Canada. Big mistake.

To date, Canada OVH does not offer the opportunity to purchase domain names on their site and offer much less services while costing more! It cost me $ 61.96 CAD for 1 year of hosting. No email addresses @girlknowstech.com, no domain name either.

The best ? for $ 53.88 CAD with OVH France I get : 1 year hosting, 10 email addresses @girlknowstech.com and 1 domain name! All at the same time, saving time and patience by being able to buy my domain name simultaneously.
