Footer social button not rendering

I have the following code for a Reddit social button, but it’s not rendering on my website at all. I put this in the svg-map.svg file in my simple-overrided theme folder. Since I had to “turn on” the other social buttons in the Publii graphical interface (which are working), how do I get this custom one to appear on the footer of my website like the others? I got the reddit svg icon from Font Awesome.

Does it work on a live server?

Chrome, Firefox, and Safari do not allow for the referencing/loading of the external SVG files. So, to put it in motion locally you also need to add the SVG code to the svg-map.js file (/assets/js/).

Thanks for the reply. It has not been working on a live server so far. I added this to the svg-map.js file and unfortunately it still didn’t render.

@Bob could you please consider adding a reddit button natively? It’s a popular social network, and the new version has a follow functionality too.

I can’t find the reddit button in the source code, so I can’t figure out what’s wrong.

I can do that, the huge app and themes update is coming soon, so any suggestions on what else is worth adding (follow buttons)?

That would be great! My suggestions besides Reddit follow/share buttons would be a Discord follow button. I don’t think Discord can have a share button. Maybe also (if it’s possible) add an option in the UI to add custom buttons like donation buttons (Ko-Fi, Patreon, Buy me a Coffee, etc). Thank you for your help.
