Weird 'before' and 'after' tags appeared on menu arrows & icons

  • I’m not entirely sure how this happened and I hadn’t backed up properly. It may have been when I installed the Theme My Login plugin and then uninstalled it later. However, I’m getting these weird icons on my menus.

    There’s a semi-colon ‘;’ on my dropdown a pound symbol ‘￡’ next to my checkout and other weird symbols shown elsewhere.

    I’m completely perplexed by this one. I’m aware that I could edit the CSS before and after tags where they are coming up but I don’t know how to get my old dropdown arrows back and I want to know what’s gone wrong.

    Has anyone ever encountered this? Any help is much appreciated.

  • Hello earnest_m,

    Because the required font that make the semi-colon to a dropdown arrow is not loaded correctly. See the errors regarding the font not being loaded correctly on your site: https://prntscr.com/5fuxdh

    Compare it to the live demo provided by woothemes.

    In the screenshot below, I removed the font on the live demo provided by woothemes. You will noticed that it turns to semi-colon

    It turns out that it had something to do with my child theme. I went back and used this script:

    // Faster than @import
    add_action( ‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘my_child_theme_scripts’ );
    function my_child_theme_scripts() {
    wp_enqueue_style( ‘parent-theme-css’, get_template_directory_uri() . ‘/style.css’ );
    }

    in my child themes functions.php file and deleted the styles I had copied over from the parent css file.

    A good lesson about doing things properly the first time round.

    Thanks for your help.
