Read More dashicon [\f310] only showing when logged into WordPress

Morning GP team.
I have the strangest thing going on with the read more dashicon [\f310]. I thought I was going crazy, but it seems it is not loading unless I am logged into wordpress!
https://www.uncommonsensephysique.com/ – hopefully you'll see the missing icon symbol for the read more buttons on my blog. I see this behavior when logged into an incognito tab in Chrome.
But when I am logged in to my wordpress site, the icons are showing-up fine!
I can't imagine what's going on...
Any help much appreciated!
Hi there,
which cache/optimization plugin are you using? Check within its settings as some have an option to disable dashicons on the front-end.
Hmm.
I'm a SiteGround hostee, and I am running their SG Optimizer plugin, but I've also not actively changed/enabled any of the more advanced settings. i.e. no minification or combining in the front-end options etc.
A bit of Googling doesn't turn-up anything for SG Optimizer and dashicons as a problem.
The more I think about this, the more I wonder if it's ever worked in the front-end?
Some more Googling shows that many WP installations are forcing dashicons in the front-end with snippets like this:
/********************************************************/
// Adding Dashicons in WordPress Front-end
/********************************************************/
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'load_dashicons_front_end' );
function load_dashicons_front_end() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'dashicons' );
}Thoughts?
You know what i never used dashicons on the front end lol. And yes that seems to be the case. Adding that snippet will do the trick ( it did for me ) :)
Heh. I'll give that snippet a try later tonight once I'm home from work. Thanks for the help. I'll let you know how I get on.
Keep us posted :)
Yup. Problem solved!
Thanks for the chat and letting me run ideas by you guys. I love the GP Theme, but I love the GP team and support even more!
