    Hello,

    I’m having a problem with for example the search icon, which should show up in the navigation, when I have enabled it in the settings.

    It looks like this:

    And also below the posts, I have some problems:

    I use the Generatepress child theme provided here on the site.

    Let me know how I can troubleshoot this.

    I had a closer look in the browser console and I see errors about the fonts not downloading. Why would that be?:

    downloadable font: download failed (font-family: “FontAwesome” style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:2): status=2147746065 source: [site removed]/wp-content/themes/generatepress/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=4.3.0 font-awesome.min.css:4:14

    downloadable font: download failed (font-family: “FontAwesome” style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:3): status=2147746065 source: [site removed]/wp-content/themes/generatepress/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf?v=4.3.0 font-awesome.min.css:4:14

    downloadable font: no supported format found (font-family: “FontAwesome” style:normal weight:normal stretch:normal src index:5) source: (end of source list) font-awesome.min.css:4:14

    I can find that setting in about:config, but can’t edit it. But this would not be a good solution because the problem is the same across browsers.

    So maybe a server setting needs to be changed? I’ve checked the mime types and both woff and ttf are added.

    Can you link me to the site so I can see if the same thing happens to me? Is this only happening in Firefox?

    I found the solution just minutes ago.

    The culprit was an .htaccess in wp-content, which only allowed certain filetypes to be downloaded.

    So, I changed it from

    Order Allow,Deny
    Deny from all
    <Files ~ ".(css|jpe?g|jpg|JPG|png|gif|js|pdf|swf|php|mp3|flv|html|xml)$">
    Allow from all
    </Files>

    to

    Order Allow,Deny
    Deny from all
    <Files ~ ".(css|jpe?g|jpg|JPG|png|gif|js|pdf|swf|php|mp3|flv|html|xml|woff|ttf|eot|woff2)$">
    Allow from all
    </Files>

    and now it works ๐Ÿ™‚

    I was led to this conclusion by this thread:
