Unfortunately it’s not working… When I add something like the following to a post or page it won’t show up. <span style="color: #0000ff;"><i class="fas fa-adjust"></i></span> What am I doing wrong? March 14, 2018 at 4:55 am #519549 DavidStaff Customer Support You are trying to use a FontAwesome 5.0 font class fas that is not yet supported in GP. Use the old FontAwesome site to get 4.7 supported codes: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/ March 14, 2018 at 5:05 am #519551 jonas-krauss Ok, thanks. I tried an icon from the old FontAwesome site, but it’s still not working. I don’t know why… <i class="fa fa-microchip"></i> <i class="fa fa-microchip" aria-hidden="true"></i> March 14, 2018 at 5:20 am #519563 DavidStaff Customer Support Go to Customiser > General and uncheck ‘load essential icons only’ March 14, 2018 at 5:29 am #519567 jonas-krauss Now it works.
