Font Awesome 5 Upgrade?
3 replies · Started by Paul on March 29, 2018
Hi, I'm implementing font awesome on my website and was trying to add this icon: https://fontawesome.com/icons/thumbs-up?style=regular
But the code displayed there doesn't work for in GP. I had to revert back to the font awesome 4 version code for it to work.
For this new website I'm building I like to future proof my code, so I'd really prefer to use the font awesome 5 classes. Is there a way to upgrade GP to use font awesome 5 that I can do myself?
GP 2.1 will be using Font Awesome 5. The upgrade from 4 to 5 is pretty significant, so we've been taking our time to make sure we get it right.
This is the branch we're working on for 2.1: https://github.com/tomusborne/GeneratePress/tree/new/built-in-icons
Awesome :) I assume my Font Awesome 4 icons will still work once I update to GP 2.1? Or will I have to update my classes?
We've done our best to maintain as much backward compatibility as possible.
The only icons that won't work are ones that have been added using pseudo selectors.
