BuddyPress Navbar Icons missing

[david_bass]

I have the navbar turned on in BuddyPress Theme Options. I am logged in to the account. I am not seeing the navbar icons for BuddyPress. If I move my pointer around the area it should be then the drop-down menu will display.

Also, when going to the home page and have not yet logged in I see the icon, but the icon for login shows “&#f2f6”

I just upgraded to 6.2.2

Should I go back one version, because it worked fine with it?

Hi There,

I couldn’t replicate this issue on my end, my version of X theme is 6.2.2 and Cornerstone plugin is 3.2.2:

Did you already update the Cornerstone plugin as well?

Please try clearing any caching plugins you have active or the cache provided by your host. We updated FontAwesome with this release. Version 5 required changes to the markup, CSS, and the file location changed. Your site is probably serving the old markup which has references to the previous font location.

I’ve cleared my cache but it’s still happening. What do I do next? This could happen if your site has icon markup that you added directly rather than using our icon shortcode. As of Font Awesome version 5 they split icons into multiple fonts. This can be fixed by changing instances of the data-x-icon attribute to one of the following:

• data-x-icon-b for social icons.
• data-x-icon-o for outline icons.
• data-x-icon-s for solid icons.

The original attribute data-x-icon will still work for solid icons as a fallback but we’ve updated everything for consistency.

Let us know how it goes!

Thanks for the info. I clear the cache and I got my navbar icon back.

I am still having issues with login icon. While logged out, I can the navbar icon and in the list I see “Create An Account” and it is proceeded by what looks to be a pencil icon. Just below it I have “Login” proceeded by “&#f2f6”.

I do not use FontAwesome or any other icon plugins. I solely use what is provided in the X theme.

So we are half way there.

Hey David,

I’ve searched for broken icons in Pro 2.2.2 and they’re in these files.

framework\functions\plugins\bbpress.php at line 445

framework\functions\plugins\buddypress.php at line 456

It’s generally not recommended to modify the parent theme but in this case, please change &#f2f6;to .

I’ll post this in our issue tracker and maybe in the succeeding releases, a fix will be included and by that time, your changes to the parent theme will just be overridden by the update so you don’t have to take anymore action.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you so much for this information. I also went ahead and made the exact same change for buddypress.php.

Both worked perfectly. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
