Incompatibilty with Elementor Header & Footer Builder plugin

Hi @catheg,

Seems that FontAwesome icons are loading as SVG.

Please try disabling CSS/JS concatenation and minify to see if that’ll change anything. If that doesn’t help, you can try deactivating FA from “NextGen Gallery -> Other Options -> Miscellaneous -> Do not enqueue FontAwesome: Yes”

Hi @imagely ,

If I disable CSS/JS concatenation and minify, that solves the problem, but I want to keep this optimization.

If I deactivate NextGen Gallery -> Other Options -> Miscellaneous -> Do not enqueue FontAwesome: Yes” it also solves my problem. So I’m going to take this second solution. But to be honest I don’t exactly what it means, and if it’s a problem of the header plugin or nextgengallery. I didn’t have this problem before the last update of my site this morning.

Thanks for your help.

Catherine.

Hi @catheg,

In one of the recent NextGen Gallery updates we’ve moved FontAwesome from web loading to locally loading ( to ensure the plugin complies with GDPR European standard ).

Since then, NextGen includes different versions of FA icons such as woff, tiff and svg and the optimization plugins tend to prefer loading FA as svg when the concatenation is enabled ( for the performance reasons ) and the theme or the other plugin may not work with FA icons as SVG but there’s not much that can be done from our side of things to prevent this behavior unless perhaps finding the necessary scripts and exclude then from the concatenation but we aren’t sure that’ll work.

Thanks for your explanation, it’s more clear now.
