Updating font-awesome 5.x

Hi there

we’re fully awere of this problem; long story short, the answer is “backward compatibility”
There is no easy way to update library and at the same time grant that icons choosen by our customer will be preserved

For this reason we look forward to offer customers an option to choose among FontAwesome 4.7 and 5.x, in order to grant max compatibility, and switch by default to 5.x only for new installations

We will takle this task as soon as new major version is released

Hi author team.

Yep, it’s a great idea.

I think the plugin should have an option that user can choose one of the library (4.7 or 5.x)

Hope your team release soon in the next version.

Thank you so so much.

Hope to fix this soon too!

We are doing our best to improve our plugins. Our target is to develop and release the best free plugins for WooCommerce, but to achieve this we need your help. Please leave a good review to support us and help our growth ??

I completely understand backward-compatibility problem, but maybe just provide a simple filter for developers to deregister font-awesome completely, since it has huge effect on site performance. We want to replace font awesome icons with our own icons, but I can’t find any simple way to achieve it. When I looked at your code all styles are hard-coded and font awesome is listed as a dependency, so I can’t disable it without disabling main styles.

$deps = apply_filters( 'yith_styles_deps' );
wp_register_style( 'yith-wcwl-user-main', $style_url, $deps, $this->version );

Hi @deothemes

Thank you for your input; you’re right, indeed
We will add the following filter starting from next minor release

yith_wcwl_main_style_deps

Any progress to remove font awesome?
Also does it load styles if we don’t use them.

For example if we don’t use shop loop, does it load shop loop styles?
