Tik Tok icon doesn’t work + Plugin fatal error

Hi @mattheo, I’m seeing two unrelated issues here: (1) how to use Font Awesome to get the tiktok icon to show, (2) the plugin fatal error.

Font Awesome usage apart from the plugin is beyond the scope of this support forum, but I’ll try to offer some tips that might help get you unstuck.

If you want to troubleshoot the plugin failure, could you open a separate issue for that and include whatever diagnostic information you might find in the JavaScript/Web console of your browser that seems related to the Font Awesome plugin?

Ok, tips:

1. The code you’ve show for your the rss is incorrect, so if you’re using that as a template for switching to the tiktok icon, make sure that you correct it all the way. Currently, it is:

<span class="fab fas fa-rss" aria-hidden="true"></span>

The fab and fas classes each indicate a particular Font Awesome font-family: fab for Brands, and fas for Solid. You should only ever have one font-family prefix class in there. And since the tiktok icon is in Brands, it should be only fab. Remove fas.

2. It looks like the tiktok Brand icon appeared in Font Awesome 5.13.1. So however you are setting up Font Awesome apart from the plugin, you need to make sure that it’s at least that version.

3. If you’re just looking to add a single <link> tag to a stylesheet that would load a recent version of Font Awesome 5 Free (including Brands), you could use this for href value: https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.15.4/css/all.css like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.15.4/css/all.css">

If there are no conflicts with other versions of Font Awesome being from your site, this will load it as CSS/Webfont from the Free CDN, for that version 5.15.4.

It worked immediately simply by putting

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.15.4/css/all.css">

before my icons.

Now they are all updated to the newest version and tiktok icon is working too.

Thanks!
