[Support request] Squares instead of icons after update of GP

[Josef]

Hi, I have squares instead of icons after updating GP.

No caching plugins are active.

Thanks for help.

Hi there,

Try switching to SVG icons:

Let me know if this helps 🙂

[Josef]

Hi. I’ve tried.
Now it shows square+correct icon.
=0

That is strange.

Are you using a child theme or modified the parent theme in any ways?

I’m seeing this which should say generatepress by default:

I am using child theme. Site was done 2 years ago and now I do some changes and plugin updates once in a while.
Today were all plugins updated after many months 6 or 9 maybe.

[Leo]

Is the issue solved if you activate the parent theme to test?

[Josef]

Good point.
I’ve switched to pure GP and it works.
So some bug in my theme appeared after update of new GP.
I’ll have a look into my theme.

[Leo]

Glad to hear 🙂

When I look in the code (where those redundant square icons come from), I see path to GP theme.
To “style.css.min”.
See image: and investigate more please on site https://www.ivb.cz/

I can “fix” this by adding:

.menu-toggle:before, .search-item a:before, .dropdown-menu-toggle:before, .cat-links:before, .tags-links:before, .comments-link:before, .nav-previous .prev:before, .nav-next .next:before, .generate-back-to-top:before {
    content: none !important;   
}

to my code. But that is not a nice way.

[Leo]

If the issue doesn’t exist in the parent theme then it’s definitely something going on with your child theme.

Can you try reinstalling a fresh child theme here to test?

I would assume it’s fine as well.
