Table of Contents

If you are using social icons in your Figma design, then you can tag that element as a TP Social Icon widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor using the UiChemy plugin.

So when you export the design as an Elementor template, that particular section will use the TP Social Icon widget.

What Can be Tagged?

A frame or an inner frame containing an icon and text can be tagged as a TP Social Icon widget.

Note: This is a Font Awesome only supported widget, so you have to use the Font Awesome fonts to create the icons in your Figme design.

How to Tag?

To do this, you can choose between two options: Step by Step Method or Express Conversion.

Here, we’ll go with the Step by Step Method.

  1. First, select the Step by Step Method and click on the Start button.
  2. Select the top-level page or frame of your layout, then click on the Next button.
  3. Under the Widget Tagging Mode tab, select the Manual Widget Tagging Option.
  4. Next, under the Manage Auto Layout tab, you’ll see two options: It’s already in Auto Layout and Convert to Auto Layout. We’ll go with the first option.
  5. After that, under the Tag Widgets tab, choose the frame or container that contains your element (Widget). Then, search for the Social Icon widget from The Plus Widgets in the UiChemy panel and select it. Here, you’ll see all the supported Elementor widgets.

On the next screen, you’ll get the information of which element you are tagging as what widget.

Then you’ll see widget specific tagging options.

  1. From the Style dropdown, you have to select a style for the social icon.
  2. Then, from the Social Icon 1 dropdown, you have to select the inner frame containing the social icon and text.
  3. The Icon field will be auto selected. 
  4. In the Title field, you can select the text.
  5. In the Link field, you can add a link for the icon.
  6. Then click on the + Add New button and repeat steps 2 to 5 to tag the next social icon.
  7. Once done, click the Save button to complete the tagging, and you’ll see a Tagged successfully message.

Now, if you export the design, that element will use the Social Icon widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor with your icons and texts.

Related Frequently Asked Questions


What should I do if the TP Social Icon widget doesn't appear after exporting my design?

If the TP Social Icon widget doesn't show up after exporting, ensure that you have tagged the correct frame or inner frame in your Figma design. The tagging must be done using the UiChemy plugin, and you need to select the TP Social Icon widget from The Plus Widgets in the UiChemy panel. Additionally, verify that The Plus Addons for Elementor plugin is installed and activated.

Can I use other icon sets besides Font Awesome for the TP Social Icon widget?

The TP Social Icon widget only supports Font Awesome icons. If your Figma design uses icons from other sets, they will not be recognized during the conversion process with UiChemy. It's essential to use Font Awesome fonts to ensure compatibility when tagging the social icons in your design.

What is the best method to tag the TP Social Icon widget in Figma?

The best practice for tagging the TP Social Icon widget is to use the Step by Step Method in the UiChemy plugin. This method allows for precise tagging of each social icon and ensures that you can select the appropriate styles and links for each icon. Following this method helps maintain the integrity of your design during the export process.

What happens if I skip the tagging process for social icons?

If you skip the tagging process for social icons in your Figma design, those elements will not be converted into the TP Social Icon widget when exporting to Elementor. This means that the icons may not function as intended, and you may lose the ability to link them properly. Proper tagging is crucial for maintaining functionality.

What should I check if my icons are not displaying correctly after tagging?

If your icons are not displaying correctly after tagging, first ensure that you have selected the correct inner frame containing the icon and text during the tagging process. Additionally, check that the styles and links for each icon are set up properly in the tagging options. Minor adjustments in the widget settings may also be necessary to match your original design.
