Keep Social Icons on Desktop and Remove it only on Tablets and Mobile

If you wanted to keep the social icons on the desktop and disable/remove it only on mobile from DIVI’s bottom bar/footer, we can use a little bit of CSS. First make sure you have checked the “SHOW SOCIAL ICONS” in the Theme Customizer–> Footer –> Footer Elements as shown in the image above.

To add the CSS, head over to your style.css in your child theme and paste the following CSS. Alternatively you can also go to DIVI -> Theme Options and paste the CSS in the Custom CSS box.

/* Disable Social Icons on Bottom bar on tablets and smaller devices */
@media all and (max-width: 980px) {
#footer-bottom .et-social-icons {display: none;}
}

This will show the icons on the desktop but will remove it from the tablet and mobile devices as shown below.
