[Resolved] FontAwesome icons disappearing in sections after save

[Sander]

Hi,

I try to add some icons in a page section. In the preview the icon shows, after the first save it also shows. When I save again the icon has disappeared.

Code I added:

<i class=”fa fa-camera-retro fa-3x”></i>

After save:

 

Do you have a solution?

The WordPress editor strips empty HTML tags.

The solution is to add an HTML comment in between them:

<i class="fa fa-camera-retro fa-3x"><!-- icon --></i>

That should fix it 🙂
