        Thanks for this! Just what I needed. Now looking for share to pinterest for posts.

        Nice mkelly! Twitter and Google Plus updated, Pinterest added. I'd only implement this if I can do this via a child theme so I can keep updating framework & Canvas without thinking about it.

        I added the png as images/ico-subscribe-social.png in my child theme but WordPress still serves the Canvas one. I also wonder where you'd put the Pinterest URL.

        Woothemes: time to update this part ;)

        I personally don't understand why you're limited to only a certain amount of icons and sites. The social media aspect of the Subscribe & Connect functionality is actually more limiting than using a widget to manually add the icons and links yourself.

        For example, now that I need to add a Pinterest icon to my site I actually have to recreate my whole Social Media linking section outside of the Subscribe & Connect section because I can't add my own custom icons in the same location. I'm questioning why I used it in the first place if I would inevitably end up having to add a manually built section anyway. There seriously should be some way to add a custom icon and link...

        this is the updated png file with my added pinterest button (I tried to keep it similar to the others).
        Add to style.css after

        .social a.facebook {
        background-position: -60px 0;
        }

        .social a.pinterest {
        background-position: -240px 0;
        }

        Comment if it does not work. I may be able to help if you use a free theme, this one should work for mystile

        If you are able to edit your theme files the files to edit are:
        theme-options.php
        theme-functions.php

        In theme-options.php
        search for "Facebook URL" and find

        $options[] = array( 'name' => __( 'Facebook URL', 'woothemes' ),
        'desc' => sprintf( __( 'Enter your %1$s URL e.g. http://www.facebook.com/woothemes', 'woothemes' ), '<a href="http://www.facebook.com/">'.__( 'Facebook', 'woothemes' ).'</a>' ),
        'id' => $shortname . '_connect_facebook',
        'std' => '',
        'type' => 'text' );

        Directly underneath this copy

        $options[] = array( 'name' => __( 'Pinterest URL', 'woothemes' ),
        'desc' => sprintf( __( 'Enter your %1$s URL e.g. http://www.pinterest.com/woothemes', 'woothemes' ), '<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">'.__( 'Pinterest', 'woothemes' ).'</a>' ),
        'id' => $shortname . '_connect_pinterest',
        'std' => '',
        'type' => 'text' );

        It is the same style as all the others with the word facebook replaced with pinterest

        In theme-functions search for "connect_facebook" find 'connect_facebook' => '',

        and add underneath 'connect_pinterest' => '',

        Search for "connect_facebook" again to find
        <?php } if ( $settings['connect_facebook' ] != "" ) { ?>
        <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $settings['connect_facebook'] ); ?>" class="facebook" title="Facebook"></a>

        and add

        <?php } if ( $settings['connect_pinterest' ] != "" ) { ?>
        <a href="<?php echo esc_url( $settings['connect_pinterest'] ); ?>" class="pinterest" title="Pinterest"></a>

        underneath just like all the rest look.

        For styling I edited the default icons to add a pinterest one and will upload later with styling

        Please add Pinterest to "subscribe and connect"! It is hugely gaining in popularity as a social media info sharing platform and would make things a lot easier.

        Had the same thought, in addition I'd also like to see Tumblr, Instagram and Foursquare included in S & C. :-)

      • Mike HoeferMike Hoefer commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I wonder if there is a way to just allow entry of a URL and Icon (of a defined size) to allow ultimate flexibility here. That way as things come and go woo does not need to decide what should be included. maybe Twitter/FB/Google+ are core and others can be added though the enter URL/upload icon route?

        I was just looking for this myself I just got my first theme from wootheme and I'm shocked you don't have this option for adding pinterest to the subscribe and connect.

        But if this is somehow possible via functions.php and somebody wants to share a workaround... :)

      • KatieKatie commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        I'd love this; it's a bit tedious having to go in and add it myself :)
