Easy to use but FontAwesome conflicts

  • I have a site that I’ve set to already enqueue FontAwesome, and annoyingly this plugin seems to reference a different version of FontAwesome with the result being when viewing on a computer that does not have the font actually INSTALLED, it simply does not render the icons properly. This is very annoying and because the plugin stylesheets are loaded after the footer there appears to be no way to override the stylesheet (which also uses !important to make things even harder).

    I did find that the plugin works well from a functionality standpoint, but unfortunately I will have to uninstall it if there is no way to override style settings as mentioned above.

    Just to add to this – I’ve also tried using the ‘custom css’ section within the plugin settings, unfortunately when I try to specify that it use the version of FontAwesome I have enqueued, something seems to strip the code as it does not load correctly on the front end.

    So to summarize – something that should work out-of-the-box doesn’t and seems to not be in any way editable.

    Hi,

    We want to apologize for the inconvenience.

    We’ll fix this issue in our upcoming updates. Would you please mention what theme are you using?

    Thank you and have a nice day!

    Hi,

    Thanks for responding!

    I use a genesis child theme that is adapted from the sample child theme they provide, and I already enqueue FontAwesome in my functions file using their free CDN.

    I think it would be nice to be able to turn off the plugin’s version of FontAwesome – like some other plugins allow, and be able to overwrite font styles pre-defined in the plugin’s stylesheets. That’s the only thing I struggled with which ultimately lead me to uninstall.

    Look forward to the fix as I would be interested to try this plugin again in the future. Everything else worked brilliantly.

    Cheers!
