This solution enables you to display your social icons or anything you put in the header right widget area to the left or right of the search form.

Installation Steps
There’s 2 steps :
I have a weird situation going on here (weird to me), hopefully you know right away what the issue is.
I followed the simple social tutorial for essence pro v1.4 theme but they only show up when I activate visual hooks guide and action hooks. They show up near the bottom left of the screen. When I clear visual hooks guide the icons disappear. I also have a language switcher in there. The search form does not show up in any case.
I will mention that I have also followed the tutorial for soliloquy which might be hiding it.
Hopefully you can help. I can send you screenshots, give you ftp and/or login info whatever you need.
You will need to login just to view so I will send that info upon request.
thanks in advance,
John
Deactivate all plugins except for Simple Social Icons and clear all caching.
