Font Awesome - SVG Gone?

[strobley]

Hi Themeco,

The svg Font Awesome file has gone in X 7.0.x.

It was really useful to add icons as Raw Content Element <svg tag, keeping the site very lean instead of having to use the Font Awesome files which adds bloat.

May I ask to have it put back please.

Many thanks.

Hello @strobley,

Thanks for writing in!

SVG html code should still work in the raw content and classic raw content element. I have just tested the code below in my local testing server using the latest version of the X theme 7.0.4 and it is working on my end.

<svg width="100" height="100">
  <circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="green" stroke-width="4" fill="yellow" />
</svg>

Could you please post your svg code in your next reply so we can test it in our local testing servers?

Thanks.

I’m referring to the Font Awesome .svg files located in framework/fonts/font_awesome which have been included in every release except latest 7.0.x

Hi @strobley,

Can the style you wanted to have be achieved by using the ICON element or using the shortcodes here http://demo.theme.co/renew-1/shortcodes/icons/? If not, can you share a screenshot of what you wanted to achieve, so we can help you with it. Thanks!
