[Resolved] Font Awesome icons not loading

[Sigve]

Hello, i am having some problems with displaying font awesome icons on my website.

I am running wp nginx with Autoptimize and WP Fastest Cache. First i thought that css minifying was the problem, so i have disabled anything css related on Autoptimize and Autoptimize. I also tried to disable gzip in nginx without any luck.

edit: almost forgot, i also have 2 icons top right in the primary navigation, they are not working either.

Here is my site: https://sigve.xyz

The icon should appear in front of my email address.

Thanks <3

Hi there,

It looks like you’re using the Font Awesome essentials filter which will only load the essential icons for GP.

It’s likely those icons aren’t in the essentials bundle.

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

Hey, really weird since they were working a couple of days ago. Any clue what i could do to fix it?

Thanks for your help, appreciate it!

Remove this function, which you must have added at some point:

add_filter( 'generate_fontawesome_essentials', 'generate_fontawesome_essentials' );
function generate_fontawesome_essentials()
{
    return true;
}

Wow, i am so dumb.. Totally forgot that i added that to improve the loading time of the site.

Fixed now!

You are doing gods work, the effort you are putting into GP is incredible! #keepgoing

Thanks alot!

You can keep the essentials and build your own font icon file using a tool like icomoon: https://icomoon.io/app/#/select

That way you don’t need to load the entire Font Awesome library.

Glad I could help! 🙂

Hi there!
I have some troubles, too.
I ve made two identical sites.
BUT
On the first site there is no problem with font awesome.
And on the second site font awesome isn’t loading! It even has no chekbox “loading only essential icons”. The first has.
What I have to do to solve this problem?
