• Hi,
    I appreciate you are using font-awesome. This is a pretty popular icon font these days. Actually several developers are using this.

    And this is the problem: Due to the different ways font-awesome is included in the code, you can end up with a page loading font-awesome several times.

    Usually you can get rid of this by codings like

    wp_deregister_style( 'font-awesome-css' );

    For hueman this does not work since the CSS directly includes the font via

    @font-face {
      font-family: 'FontAwesome';
      src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.6.1');
      src: url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.6.1');
      ...
    }

    Overwriting this in my own CSS does not work since as far as I know @font-face cannot be cleared from the style sheet. Overwriting src does not work neither, it just gives you an additional entry.

    So please be so kind to include the usage of fontawesome in a separate stylesheet included in functions.php, so developers are able to remove it via wp_deregister_style.

    Thanks for your excellent theme, by the way!

    Greetings Oliver

    Hi @oliverhamburg, that’s a good point.
    This has been added as an issue on github : https://github.com/presscustomizr/hueman/issues/273.
    Scheduled for milestone v3.1.7

    Thanks!

    Perhaps that will help my issue: cannot get the Font Awesome icons to show in the Social Links configuration dropdown in the Customizer. The field says: Select a social icon, but nothing drops down to pick from. I can configure the Social Link URL, though.

    Hi @t0m4u, can you share your system configuration ( you’ll find it under appearance > About Hueman in your WP admin).
    This will help me understand what could be the cause of your problem.
    Can you also go through the usual debug workflow (if not already done of course) :
    – update WP to the latest version
    – update the Hueman theme to the latest version
    – try to disable all your plugins and enable theme one by one to see if there could be any conflict with the theme.

    Thanks for your feedback
