Font Aweseome implemention screwed up

    Hello there!
    Since using Hestia from summer 2017 I used to have Font Aweseome Icons in my primary menu bar on top of the page. I implemented them as shown here https://docs.themeisle.com/article/532-hestia-pro-documentation (putting “fa fa-iconname” into HTML attribut in the menu). That worked fine until an Hestia update some weeks ago. After updateing all menu icons were gone, without changing anything in the menu. It just seemed they didn’t appear in the frontend source code.

    Hestia update 1.1.82 (and also the latest 1.1.83) screwed up my selfmade Child Theme (server error 500), so I went back to an earlier Hestia version (1.1.66). With that version not only my page works again, all menu icons are back too!
    So it was definitely a newer Hestia version which crushed the font aweseome icons. My website is fine now with that older version, but I wanted to inform you about this issue. Maybe others got that Font Awesome problem too.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hey @depape01,

    Thank you for letting us know about this. Could you please give me more information so we can test this?
    Which child theme are you using? Is it a custom one or one from ThemeIsle? If it’s a custom one, which files are you using in the child theme?
    And have you tried using just Hestia ( latest version ) without the child theme? Did you encounter the same issue ( server error 500 )?

    Thank you,
    Rodica

    Hi Rodica,

    thanks for your response!
    I made my own child theme, using these files:

    archive.php
    functions.php
    sidebar.php
    style.css

    and also

    /inc/template-tags.php
    /template-parts/content-page.php
    /template-parts/content-single.php

    And yeah, the latest Hestia version worked for me without child theme, so I’m pretty sure the server error 500 is my own fault / caused by my small changes and additions into the original php files.

    Regarding the missing font awesome icons:
    The latest Hestia version doesn’t show them (even without child theme!), but 1.1.66 does. So there must be any changes in the Hestia core..
    (I’ve got a crappy development site with latest Hestia, without child theme https://test.plejadium.de/. There should be icons in the primary menu, but they aren’t.)

    Hi @depape01,

    As you’ve used many files in the child theme, to fix that 500 error, I would need access to the files, to see exactly which function is causing that. For that, could you please contact us here https://themeisle.com/contact/ and make sure you mention this ticket there, and also that the ticket should go to Rodica.

    Regarding the icons, I’m not sure how you’ve added them to the menu. Did you use the Orbit Fox plugin, the Menu Icons plugin or using this doc https://docs.themeisle.com/article/704-hestia-basic-mega-menu-setup

    Regards,
    Rodica

    I am experiencing the exact same issue. Upgrading from 1.1.71 to 1.1.85.
    I checked the link in the post of Rodica and it seems that the icons are now derived through a plugin? Does that mean adding the fa-home (for instance) to the title attribute doesn’twork anymore?
    I read nothing about this in the changelog from 1.1.71 to 1.1.85.

    Note: the problem occurs with child theme but also when I switch to the parent theme (pro). I’ll open a ticket.
