Hi, 
I'm struggling with a couple of problem with my website
https://cricket-helicon-xpw9.squarespace.com/ (password: draft1)

- I added code to split the menu starting from the menu under the logo option, but now the menu items on the right are on top of the social icons! How can i fix that?

On top of that I added custom icons for the socials in the top menu and added them in the footer as well but I can't see the new custom icons there, only the standard link icon, why?

Thanks for your help!
Alex

What guide did you use to achieve this? I've found that some are better than others at keeping the navigation even around the title. I realise that this is a paid plugin from @WillMyers, but should work much better:

The header social icons are separate from the social block, so need targeting differently. But it does look like you've solved this already?

Hi Ziggy, thanks for your reply!
I tried different free codes and guide for the split menu, this is the one I'm using right now:
 

// SPLIT NAVIGATION

.header-nav {
    position: absolute;
    top: 78px;
    bottom: 0;
    margin-top: 0!important;
    margin-left: -60px!important;
}

.header-nav-item:nth-of-type(4) {
    margin-right: 340px!important;
}

.header-title-logo a {
    z-index: 1000;
    position: relative;
}

.header-display-desktop .header-title {
    flex: 0 0 40% !important;
    z-index: 999999999;
}


/* Icons to right */
.header-display-desktop {
    -webkit-box-orient: horizontal;
    -webkit-box-direction: reverse;
        -ms-flex-direction: row-reverse;
            flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
.header-actions.header-actions--left {
    -webkit-box-pack: end;
        -ms-flex-pack: end;
            justify-content: flex-end;
}

For the custom social icons in the footer I added more code to fix it. 😅

Nice one!

You can try adjusting the values to improve it, something like this, but the method is inherently problematic:

// SPLIT NAVIGATION

.header-nav {
    position: absolute;
    top: 85px;
    bottom: 0;
    margin-top: 0!important;
    margin-left: -110px!important;
}

.header-nav-item:nth-of-type(4) {
    margin-right: 220px!important;
}

.header-title-logo a {
    z-index: 1000;
    position: relative;
}

.header-display-desktop .header-title {
    flex: 0 0 40% !important;
    z-index: 999999999;
}


/* Icons to right */
.header-display-desktop {
    -webkit-box-orient: horizontal;
    -webkit-box-direction: reverse;
        -ms-flex-direction: row-reverse;
            flex-direction: row-reverse;
}
.header-actions.header-actions--left {
    -webkit-box-pack: end;
        -ms-flex-pack: end;
            justify-content: flex-end;
}

To keep this working, you'll need to adjust these values every time you make a change in the header.

The other thing you could do is reduce the gap between the social icons.

I haven't tested this one, but it looks well coded:

HI, I already tried that code and I can't make it work. The left side doesn't work and the font is so small! Just like in the photo

I tried with your code and it's working!

Thank you so much! 🤩
