[Theme Arcade Basic] replacing header icon with a custom one

Hey there iPrayer,

How are you doing today?

Theme is using font awesome icons. You can easily replace the icon with some custom CSS.

You’ll find list of available icons here https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet/.

To change it simply add the following CSS code in the style.css file of your child theme or add it in your site using the following plugin:

#site-meta .fa-play:before {
    content: "\f034";
}

Replace the code inside content part with the code from the icon of your choice https://screencast.com/t/5SFEeloSj.

Hope this helps ??

Cheers,

Hey there,

Could I also change the icon by any picture of my choosing, for example an URL from my library, instead of one of the list?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hey there mearentzegmailcom,

Yes, that should be possible by using the background property instead, so if you’re targeting the same icon you can try the following:

#site-meta .fa-play:before {
    content: none;
    background: url(your_image_URL);
}

Replace dummy URL with an actually URL to your image. It’s likely that you’ll have to use background-size as well depending on the size of the image.

If this doesn’t work please post link to your site and let me know which image you’re looking to replace.

Cheers,
Bojan
