Hello, I’ve been trying to figure out how to fix this and I must be missing something. I updated my site, installed the Cornerstone plugin, and most things seem to be good. Some issues with padding in sections that need to be fixed, but I haven’t got around to that yet.

The biggest issue I’ve encountered was that my icon lists I had on pages now have a “x” icon in front of words. Previously I had left the icon area in quotes empty which allowed me to output no icon, but still get the icon list effect. For some reason now that’s not working, and even though I have nothing in the spot for the icon, it still outputs an “x”.

I’ve read the section about updating the code to the new code for icons, but it didn’t have any effect (or I did something wrong).

Here is what I have entered in the Icon List box

[x_icon_list]

[x_icon_list_item type=”bolt”] Processor [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=”server”] Memory [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=”hdd-o”] Storage [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=”cogs”] Graphics [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=”wifi”] Wireless [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=”life-ring”] Optical Drive [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=”th-list”] Processor Cooler [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=”random”] Case Cooling Fan [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=”usd”] Price [/x_icon_list_item]

[/x_icon_list]

I added icons for now because otherwise I was getting the “x” icon in front of all of them and I didn’t want that. So put some temp icons in there. What I had before was

[x_icon_list]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Processor [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Memory [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Storage [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Graphics [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Wireless [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Optical Drive [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Processor Cooler [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Case Cooling Fan [/x_icon_list_item]

[x_icon_list_item type=””] Price [/x_icon_list_item]

[/x_icon_list]

Here is what show’s up on the page http://www.totalgeekdom.com/?page_id=1190

This output the “x” icon in front of the words, even though I didn’t enter anything between the quotation marks. This had worked prior and just gave me the lists without the icons. How do I get that back?

Thanks

Hi There,

Thank you for login credentials. I did create a sample page with your code above http://www.totalgeekdom.com/?page_id=2485 and it did work just fine. Try to see what is the difference between your current code.

Cheers!

I had a look at the sample page, and it does indeed look fine with the icons showing up as they should. But I don’t want the icons, I previously had used Icon lists on a couple of different pages and just left the space blank between the quotation marks, this allowed me to have the icon list effect, but without an icon.

I went through and changed the code on the sample page to show how I had the code before, this code used to output as just the list with no icons. As you can see now it’s outputting little “x” in front of the words. I would like to figure out how to make it like I had it before the update to 4.0, where I just had the list, I don’t want the icon.

Thanks!

Hello There,

Cornerstone elements/shortcodes are now using default values in this case is x.
If you don’t want the icons at all, we will use custom CSS:

You can define this as none like below:

[x_icon_list_item type="none"] Processor Cooler [/x_icon_list_item]

Then add the following code in your Customizer via Appearance > Customize > Custom > CSS:

i.x-icon-none:before {
  content: "";
}

Hope this helps.

Thanks! I made the changes and it looks like it used to prior to the update.
