[Resolved] How do I use icons in GP

[Nacho]

Hello,

I was just wondering how to use the icons in GP since I don´t see anything in the documentation. Currently I´m using emojis but I would love to have icons.

Thanks a lot.

Hi there,

aside from the theme icons eg. hamburger, search, back to top etc. GP does not add icons.
It would require a plugin or some custom code.

Where do you want to add the icons ? Is it inside your content or within theme elements eg. menu items. Let us know and i’ll try to provide some advice.

Hello David,

I wanted to insert the icons inside the content.

Thanks a lot.

Then you can use consider using Font Awesome icons:

Or use SVG icons:

Hello Leo,

Ok, I think I´m gonna try the SVG icons.

Other question, I want to show in the page content the updated date and the published date. How can I achieve this? I ´ve search a lot in the forum but nothing about inserting it in the content.

Thanks a lot.

Any chance you can open a new topic for the separate question?

Thanks 🙂

Thanks Leo.
