Social media icons

Hi

When I access my website as my main URL the social media icons show at the top of the page, when I access the page by an alternate URL the icons don’t show up, do you know why?

Hey Gary,

Thanks for posting! What you mean alternate URL? I maybe missing something but shouldn’t there only be 1 URL for your site?

Hey Gary,

I think that’s because on the automate site, it’s still using the files on the solutions site which it doesn’t have access to. If these are 2 separate sites with the same content, I’d suggest running a serialized search and replace on the automate site, changing all instances of the solutions site to the automate site. Not really sure if that is a good idea for SEO though, as I think it would result in duplicate content. You may get penalized for that. But I’ll have you know, I’m no SEO expert. :wink:

Why not just redirect the automate domain to the solutions site? As it is now, having to update contents would require twice the work.

Hey Gary,

Sorry for missing out on your last reply. I just realized, all the links on your automate site point to the GLR site. Why not simply redirect the automate site to your GLR site?

If you wanted to duplicate the content from the GLR site to the automate site, you’ll have to copy all the files as well as the DB of the GLR site to the automate site, and perform a serialized search and replace. The reason why the automate site’s icons are missing is because the font is loaded only on your GLR site, not on your automate site.

Hey Gary,

What’s happening is that, by default, fonts can’t be loaded across domain names (where as images, by default, can). The icon font isn’t getting loaded on any of the parked sites.

You can update your .htaccess file (assuming you’re on Apache) to allow cross domain fonts.

Here’s an article that explains how to do this:

Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
