I have tried using the fix in this trhead: https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/updating-font-awesome/ But it doesn’t seem to work anymore.

There are icons in the latest version of Font Awesome (4.7.0) that I really need to use.

Any other way to get these icons to show up?

Hi There,

Please download the latest version of the FontAwesome: http://fontawesome.io/assets/font-awesome-4.7.0.zip.

Then upload to this directory: /wp-content/themes/x/framework/fonts/font_awesome/.

Hope it helps 🙂

Hi

Thanks for the advice. It still doesn’t work. I can’t figure out why not.

Hey there,

Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password
– FTP credentials

Don’t forget to select Set as private reply. This ensures your information is only visible to our staff.

Thanks.

Hi There,

FTP credentials is not working. Although I did try to login via wordpress addmin and I can see that the code is not added on your child theme functions.php file. Then if you add the file we need to check using FTP.

I re-did the whole thing and now it works. Not sure what I did differently his time…

Thanks for the help!

In case someone else needs it:

Step 1: Download the latest version of Font Awesome here: http://fontawesome.io/assets/font-awesome-4.7.0.zip or go to their website to doanload it: http://fontawesome.io/

Step 2: Upload to this directory: /wp-content/themes/x/framework/fonts/font_awesome/

Step 3: Add the following to your child theme (http://theme.co/x/member/kb/how-to-setup-child-themes/) functions.php file:

function my_custom_head_output() {
  ?>
   <link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
  <?php
}

add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_custom_head_output', 99999 );

Make sure the version in this code matches the version you uploaded.

Step 4: Insert the icons by using this code (it doesn’t work when you use the shortcode):

<i class="fa thumbs-up"></i>
