It looks like in the latest update there is a massive increase in inodes and I’ve traced it to the font awesome file folder, there are like 27,000 files in the svg folder. if I deselect those icons in the cornerstone theme options will they effectively be deleted from the install, or just not show up as selectable options?
If you deselect in Theme Options, the svgs are still on the server. Those icon types will not be selectable options in app.
Some of the hosts I use put a cap on the number of inodes and indeed, Pro adds a ton of them.

I’ve just run into this after updating all of my Pro sites on our Siteground hosting. As that SVG folder has over 27k files, updating all of our sites almost doubled our totaly Inodes and took us 250k inodes over the allowed 600k quota. I’m assuming there is no way to remove these from the theme settings, so will need to delete the SVG folder manually?

Same question for me.
Got a few small websites running Pro on a Siteground hosting plan but suddenly reaching the max Inodes on that plan.
font awesome in cornerstone taking up 26k Inodes that is huge. Any way to reduce it or disable the need of font awesome?
I just went in and deleted the SVG folder under the theme assets folder, via Site Tools on SG. Had to do this for each website. I “think” this is the only option, currently anyway. It shouldn’t cause you any problems, unless you planned to use the SVG option for icons. Normal Webfonts option still works fine…
I almost got the Siteground GoGeek account blocked. So I guess we need to decide on the sets we use, and then disable the rest, and delete the folders.
@charlie Perhaps there could be an UI for this? When an SVG font set is toggled-off, compress the entire icons set to reduce it to a single inode. Conversely, decompress it for icons that are being used.

This is causing an issue for me simply installing this version of Pro on a fresh Wordpress install. It often times out just trying to install the theme. Updating to 6.4.1 on sites running older versions also is resulting in timeouts. I can ask my hosting company to increase memory limits, but this seems like it would be a major problem for other users across the board.

We can look at solutions. I think every solution is going to take me a week or two. Either through auto-unzipping the svg every time the theme updates or something else. Thanks for the info I can keep this thread updated.

You are most welcome.
Yeah, this is causing serious issues for me with my hosting. Would like to see this addressed quickly.

Monday we’ll be sending the SVGs as a zip file. Webfont will placed as the default again. Have a great week.

The update did not reduce the number of inodes, so I had to delete the theme and reinstall it on my providers that monitor inodes.
Tomorrow’s update should reduce the number of inodes.

I’m having the same exact issue with my SiteGround GoGeek account. Ugh.
The update (6.4.4) barely reduced inodes. My hosting account is WAY over the inode limit for the plan I have. They are threatening to force me to make changes or upgrade my account, which will cost me double the money.
I noticed the same, and having looked in my files, yes, you have zipped the SVG’s, but there is still a folder with the unzipped svg’s causing lots of files in on the server: (this is after the latest update)
Having the option to use svgs’s is great, if you want it, but yeah, having them on servers that limit inodes like this is not the best.
Switching to Webfont mode in theme options will ensure the SVG folder doesn’t get unzipped. Since you might have been in SVG mode that might have already unzipped when the upgrade happened. We’ll eventually get a “Disable SVG” filter for you guys to prevent this from ever happening on your server.
