Hi there,

Open up "header.php" and locate the following on lines 156-160...

if($type == 'category'){
	$menuIcon = 'icon-pencil';
	//$menuIcon = 'icon-list';
	//$menuIcon = 'icon-rss';
}

You can see that I played around with a couple ideas for the category icons. Simply add/remove the "//" to activate/deactivate the icon option. For example, if you wanted to test out the list icon, it would look like this...

if($type == 'category'){
	//$menuIcon = 'icon-pencil';
	$menuIcon = 'icon-list';
	//$menuIcon = 'icon-rss';
}

Obviously you can change the active icon to whatever you want. I just thought those three were the best options.

Let me know if that helps.

Best,

Chris

Chris,

Can you just change the blog icon to something else?

Hi there,

Currently categories do not support icon control simply because WordPress doesn't have an effective way to manage this like it does for pages.

Please feel free to submit a customization request if you want to explore custom options for your specific needs.

Hope you understand.

Thanks!

Chris

Hi - I can add a (post) category to my top menu and it shows as a little pencil icon. I'd like to add more than one category (e.g. events, places, ideas, recipes, etc.) and choose different icons for each. How can I do this?

Thanks much. Love the theme.
