Thanks to the Plugin developer for your quick response! I am marking this as resolved as that link provided is very helpful.

manouallou – I went to https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/ and clicked the Download link there. I extracted that zip file right into my downloads folder as well. I then moved that folder (font-awesome-4.0.3) and all of it’s contents into the active them folder – for me I’m using a child theme of Function so I put it in the function-child folder. Then to reference that font folder you have to make your regular style.css import the font-awesome css; if your font-awesome-4.0.3 folder is in the same folder as your style.css (it should be), then open up style.css and paste
@import url("../function-child/font-awesome-4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css");
at the top of the document. What that does is load the css from font-awesome as if it’s part of your site’s style.css file.

If that doesn’t work, it may be because when I view source on your site using FF on Win7 at line 86 I see that you are pulling a font-awesome css from somewhere, so depending on which comes last will get the precedence. It’s from this plugin so disabling the plugin will remove the css link but I don’t know if it will leave the shortcodes/i classes.

Thanks manouallou, I’m not able to post a link because I’m still in development on my localhost. From Googling it seems to be a CDN issue that sporadically affects FireFox. Like I said, I circumvented the issue by loading the fonts locally; I know that is not as fast as using the CDN but I prefer the reliability. If there was an option for the plugin to load the fonts locally that would be nice.

For anyone else having this problem I fixed it by not using a plugin at all. I went to the font awesome site and downloaded the latest zip file, extracted and placed the entire thing in my child-theme folder, and imported the style in my style.css file by using: `@import url(“../function-child/font-awesome-4.0.3/css/font-awesome.css”);
`
After doing that you can use the i class snippets within your site.

I’m running Function (a Woothemes theme) with this plugin and I had to add ‘custom_links_only' => false, 'link_title' => true,to get it to link the title and image to the permalink.

Alternatively you can just edit the Feature title to be <a href>Feature Title</a> and that will work too.
