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.
