    After upgrading to WP 5.6, the plugin stopped working. Plugin wouldn’t insert the shortcode via the iconpicker. The error via the console window was pointing toward iconpickerItem.context not having a value.

    A rather simple fix if your comfortable editing the plugin or maybe wait for Mickey Kay to update it.

    File: better-font-awesome/vendor/mickey-kay/better-font-awesome-library/js/admin.js

    At or around line 41, replace

    		// Set up icon insertion functionality.
		$( document ).on( 'iconpickerSelect', function( e ) {
    		wp.media.editor.insert( icon_shortcode( e.iconpickerItem.context.title.replace( '.', '' ) ) );

    with:

    		// Set up icon insertion functionality.
		$( document ).on( 'iconpickerSelected', function( e ) {
    		wp.media.editor.insert( icon_shortcode( e.iconpickerItem.title.replace( '.', '' ) ) );

    Unfortunately I was notified of another bug in v1.7.5 and so I’ve rolled back to v1.7.4 as the latest stable release. I’ll do my best to get a fix in ASAP. Thanks again for your patience (I’m doing my best to get to this between my full-time job and parenting our 6-month old baby).

    Shit! “so I’ve rolled back to v1.7.4 as the latest stable release” Nope that “stable” release gives this error! – “wp-content/plugins/better-font-awesome/vendor/mickey-kay/better-font-awesome-library/better-font-awesome-library.php on line 875”

    Regret harshing it up here.
