    Hi there,

    I would like to use the Font Awesome Icons with my GP theme.
    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?

    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/

    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>

    Go to Customiser > General and uncheck ‘load essential icons only’

    The essential icons option has been deprecated: https://generatepress.com/generatepress-2-1/

    It’s better to use a plugin to load Font Awesome: https://en-ca.wordpress.org/plugins/better-font-awesome/
