[Resolved] Cannot remove fontawesome

[Halil]

Hi,
I searched the forum and docs but couldnt remove the fontawesome from my site. How can I find what is referring FA. What should I do, can u guide?

Hi there,

GP itself no longer has FA built-in starting quite a few versions ago:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/font-awesome/

I’m guessing it’s loading by a third party plugin in your case.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

Hi Leo,
I am trying to find it, checked css codes, looked at plugins again, is there any easy way to find it? WOuld u pls have a look at it? Thanks a lot.

Have you tried disabling all plugins?

I can see it being used in the header widget and the home menu item.

in header links I have been refering sui icon not fa, here is a sample

<a href="https://.../" target="_blank" class="social sui sui-meetup"></a>
<a 

I am guessing it is not calling fa by this way. I have changed home icon too, now fa.woff2 is not loading.
However something is still referring font-awesome-min.css. I have checked all css code again, still couldnt find what is referring to it.

So have you tried disabling all plugins and clear any caching plugins or server cache?

As I mentioned the theme itself no longer loads FA so it must be coming from somewhere else.

OK I found it, it was some code in functions php. Thanks a lot Leo.

Glad you found it!
