It is currently .3 versions behind and a year since update. I used it in at least one website.

I still use this plugin on (at least) one site. Wondering if it will continue to be updated.

I’m working on a website using the Business Pro theme as my base, it was purchased through Studio Press and I’m using Local by Flywheel for the development, although I’m having the same issue when running normally on my host (siteground).
The two biggest issues are:

1. I have to click a color on the color pallet twice before it will change, not a big deal but a little annoying, especially when demonstrating for a client.

2. The icon selection is almost unusable. There is a large chunk of icons that don’t even work and when I publish then look at the live site, it’s displaying icons that were not selected.

I did try this on a demo site on my hosting (siteground) just to be sure it wasn’t something wonky with my local setup and It did the same thing.

This Plugin is a recommended plugin to use for the SEO themes, however it hasn’t been updated for 9 months and therefore it doesn’t function anymore with the latest WP version 5.4.1. The fonts Line Awesome and Ionicons don’t show up in the Icons widget.
Can you please update the plugin?

When I want to force breaks or markup in a widget title, I’ll implement a function that turns shortcodes into markup on the front end (eg, [br] = <br>).

As it turns out, it seems this plugin functions by outputting shortcodes. When I implemented my [br] into the widget title, the front-end display was:

fa-star (mind you, this is not the icon I had selected)
Icon Widget
Add a short description.
Personal Representative" content="Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Etiam convallis rhoncus." icon="fa-home" weight="default" size="2x" align="center" color="#333333" ]

It seems clear my shortcode <br> function won’t work, and hook solutions don’t seem to working (I assume because the plugin’s “widget title” isn’t actually a core widget title).

I’ve tried a bit of shortcode “oakie rigging”, even tried to create a function based on your plugin’s code, but I couldn’t quite pull it off. Do you have a suggestion that would allow me to force a line break in the widget title? This is an otherwise perfect plugin and I’d hate to have to hard code these little boxes over such a little matter.

Thank you!

Font Awesome icons have stopped loading with this plugin.

Plugin is generating the following code to generate a Font Awesome icon, but the icon doesn’t render:

<i class="fa fa-store-alt fa-3x" style="color:#44571f;background-color:transparent;"> </i>

It needs to generate the following code to get the icon to render:

<i class="fas fa-store-alt fa-3x" style="color:#44571f;background-color:transparent;"> </i>

When I leave the Title box blank in the widget, it is shown as “Icon Widget” on the frontend. How can I fix this so I’m not required to have a title?

I only see a “Add a short description.” when i type “[email protected]”
or a “<span class=”location”>Text here</span>”

Hi,

Do you plan on converting (adding support) the widget to a Gutenberg Block? That way, we could visually use it in post/pages without the need of the shortcode.

Thanks

Sorry – The topic is not related to support, but it’s about adding new icons.

Icon Widget > FAQ:
Can you add another icon font?
“Yes, we will add additional icon fonts upon request.”

Please, can you add FontAwesome icons such as:
angular
cpanel
css-alt
js
js-square
java
node
node-js
npm
php
python
raspberry-pi
react

and other missing front-end & back-end dev icons ??

Thanks in advance ??

I’m receiving this error message.

Notice: Undefined index: radius in /home/qlilv79hyoap/public_html/wp-content/plugins/icon-widget/icon-widget.php on line 158

How can I resolve this? Thanks

Hi. My english is very limited, sorry.
I’m newbie. I need a class to learn how to use Icon Widget. Could you give me a class? $/hour?.
Best,
Josan

I am trying to use alternative icons, like the IonIcons and I was not able to make them work at all.
I will keep using the fontawesome (4) but I think this plugin needs an update to keep working properly.

Thanks

I am running my site with WP_DEBUG enabled and I have Query Monitor active. Icon Widget is generating 3 PHP Notices for the ‘bg’, ‘padding’ and ‘radius’ elements of the $instance array.

I do realise that the PHP Notice is at the trivial end of issues. I just like to have “quiet” code that doesn’t generate any notices, warnings or errors.

I suggest giving these three attributes non-empty default values in the form() function.
Maybe:
‘bg’ => ‘transparen’,
‘padding’ => ‘0’,
‘radius’ => ‘0’,

In the meantime I’ll use the ‘icon_widget_defaults’ filter to make this change.

Hi:

I was wondering, is there a way to make the icon clickable (similar to the text below the icon)? I have someone using this widget as a “button” for the sidebar and it would be great if the icon and redirect to something like the wording can. Thanks so much in advance.

Hello,

This is a great little plugin. Do you have plans to incorporate FontAwesome 5? I’d like to update it in the Business Pro theme, but this plugin then fails.

Cheers.
