Using social lists with your own custom theme | HCL Digital Experience
The social lists that social rendering provides work with portal pages that have the Portal 8.5 theme with a Basic Content theme profile. To use them with your own custom theme, you add the wp_social_rendering_85 theme module to your theme.
About this task
The predefined social lists require that the social rendering CSS styles are loaded by the
theme that is associated to the page with the social list. The theme loads these styles if
the theme profile assigned to the current theme incorporates the wp_social_rendering_85
theme module. The Portal 8.5 theme with either
full or deferred profiles fulfills this requirement.
If you want to use social rendering with your own custom theme or a custom theme profile,
add the wp_social_rendering_85
theme module to that theme
profile. For example, you can do so by using the add-theme-modules
configuration task. If the theme profile that is active on the
current page does not contain the social rendering theme module, the social rendering CSS
classes are missing. In this case, the markup does not look as expected.
