Thesis theme for wordpress feed/subscribe link
After searching through the web for the cleanest solution for adding an image as a feed or subscribe link to the right of the navigation menu on the Thesis theme. I came up with the solution below, borrowed from: http://www.smbseoguide.com/thesis-subscribe-link/
add the following piece of code to your thesis theme: custom/custom_functions.php
function subscribe_link() {
echo ‘<li class=”rss”><a href=”<?php echo site_url(); ?>” title=”Call Us”><img src=”/images/phone-number.jpg”></a></li>’;
}
add_action(‘thesis_hook_last_nav_item’, ‘subscribe_link’);
Here you are using the same “rss” css class for the original subscribe link that thesis uses, but you’ve echoed an image in that position, an image that you create, in my case its phone-number.jpg
Next edit your custom.css file and add the following piece of code
.menu .rss a, .menu .rss a:hover {
padding: 3px 3px 0 1px;
background-color: transparent; }
Here all you’re doing is that altering the “rss” class and adding your own padding, remember you padding pixels will be different, depending on the height and padding of your menu or .menu class.

Of course, I’m not done yet. I’ll change the color number, etc. But also not that the original RSS icon can still be seen just to the right of the white box. I don’t have much time to devote to this right now, so for now I am just going to rename the file for that icon in the ftp and call it a day. So it wont know where to look for the file. By the way its under thesis/lib/images/icon-rss.gif – you could delete the file, but I like renaming, just in case I want to use it later.
As I said earlier, when you google “Thesis theme navigation menu subscribe link image” you get a lot of results, but this by far is the cleanest solution I could come up with so enjoy and comment if you have any better suggestions.
