[Support request] how to integrate new icon libraries so that the come through the block builder

[Nicholas]

Hi

How do we integrate new icon libraries so that it comes through the block builder cms?

Hi there,

the only Icons that the Theme adds is for the theme elements, eg. Hamburger menu, search, terms etc. None of which are part of the editor.

The GenerateBlocks plugin does support icons in its Buttons and Headline blocks. They support inline icons. We have plans to add an Icon Library to the Pro version at a later date.

hi

No true, you can select an icon and then choose from libraries, please screenshot

That is the GenerateBlocks plugin.
In the Free version you can only select the icons available or add your own inline SVGs provided.

Add more icons will be a function of the Pro version which has not been released yet.

Any updates on the topic of adding custom icons that can be used in the GenerateBlocks editor interfaces when using GP premium?

Hi there,

you can add whatever SVG icons you want to a GB Headline or Button block in the SVG HTML field it provides. This doc explains extracting the HTML from an icon:

And in GB Pro there is an SVG asset library:

Which allows you to create your own Icon palettes.
