Add Font Awesome Icon

Hello zimrock,

I guess the FAQ doesn’t specify where to put the code. Simply place it in your themes function.php file. You can always add it to a site specific plugin as well. Just make sure that the theme you are using supports FontAwesome already either way.

Let me know how it goes.

here is the code i put in the theme root functions.php file at the bottom:

// filter the tab output from the Simple Side Tab plugin
function rum_filter_simple_side_tab_text( $text ) {

$text = ‘<i class=”fa fa-life-ring”></i> ‘ . $text;

return $text;
}
add_filter( ‘rum_sst_plugin_text_for_tab’, ‘rum_filter_simple_side_tab_text’, 10 , 1 );

it put a bunch of icons in the middle of my home page and not one in the test tab.

what am i doing wrong?

You are using the filter correctly. Can you give me the link to your site so I can take a look?
