fontawesome

Hi,
I'm confused about how font-awesome works in current version of Generatepress. I need typical social media icons, but I don't want to include icons multiple times, especially if they are already provided.
I read article about https://docs.generatepress.com/article/generate_fontawesome_essentials/, and I found this filter is only about icons in menu and the function which uses it is not invoked anywhere. It looks like this piece of code can be safely removed.
I also read about font-awesome plugin, but I only need 3 icons (youtube, github, twitter). If this is method is recommended, is there a way to load only the icons I need?
Thanks,
Adam
Hi there,
Font Awesome is no longer used in the Theme. That code exists for backwards compatibility.
Personally i would not use Font Awesome to add a handful of icons. Better to use your own SVG Icons.
