Menu icon disappears on some menu items

I have a menu bar at the top of my website and have a Facebook icon at the farthest right position (menu is also right orientated). I used the documentation to install Font Awesome and to create the custom menu item with the FB icon and link - all great!
BUT, on three of the middle-ish menu bar items, the FB icon disappears when you access those pages. If you are on the other pages, it all works fine. The menu bar also appears to jump a bit sideways on those particular pages too - maybe that is part of it.
I was using the older Page Headers module for the headers on all these pages and just switched over today, thinking that maybe that had something to do with it, but I still get the same disappearing FB icon using Elements.
Hi there,
It looks like you're still using Font Awesome 4 on most pages, but Font Awesome 5 is loading on those other pages from your accordion plugin.
Using Font Awesome 5 is the right way, so you'll want to:
1. Deactivate Font Awesome in Customize > General.
2. Use a plugin like this to add Font Awesome to your site: https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome/
Then you'll want to update your icon in your menu to use the Font Awesome 5 class names.
Let me know if this helps or not :)
That worked great! Thanks, that was driving me nuts for a while.
No problem, glad I could help! :)
