    I don’t want to use font awesome, so I’ve made sure it’s not checked in the settings. I’ve also included the code you suggested in the FAQ to unset FA, and I’ve even tried dequeueing the menu-icons that you enqueue in settings.php. But still, the <link rel=’stylesheet’ id=’font-awesome-css’ … which includes the path to your plugin, still shows up in the source. How do I get that out of the header completely? Thanks!

  • Hello,

    Font Awesome’s CSS shouldn’t be loaded when you disabled it. Perhaps you’re using a caching plugin and need to flush/clear the cache first?

    I’ve cleared the cache multiple times (and did so again just now).

    <link rel='stylesheet' id='font-awesome-css' href='https://shareitall.online/wp-content/plugins/menu-icons/includes/library/icon-picker/css/types/font-awesome.min.css?ver=4.6.1' type='text/css' media='all' />

    seems to persist, though.

    But the link above continues to persist.

    I’ve cleared the cache multiple times, and did so again just now. The css continues to be loaded regardless.

    view source at shareitall.online to see the font-awesome link. I tried sharing the actual code here, but it just keeps disappearing, even when using backticks.

    So I’ve taken a look at the source HTML of your site. You’re correct that the Font Awesome CSS from Menu Icons is still loaded. However, it’s being loaded after Menu Icon’s CSS file (menu-icons-extra-css). This means that there’s an active plugin/theme that’s loading/enqueuing that CSS.

    You may ask “Why didn’t the said plugin load its own FA CSS?”. It’s because the one from Menu Icons has greater version number and so Menu Icons replaced its source URL.

    Well that is extremely interesting. Ok, thank you, I will try to track down what else is loading it. Kinda crazy that it does that…I mean, I get it, but it sure does make things confusing.
