Privacy concerns, serve icons locally?

Hmmm, can’t you just download and include the .css and font files directly if this is the case? The whole point of this plugin is to always get the latest version of the icons and serve them via CDN, so they are fast. Unfortunately, the plugin doesn’t have the functionality to pull in the latest, and then store it locally, like what I believe you are describing. In your shoes, I would just manually include the necessary files.

It would be great to have the option. Why couldn’t the plugin ship with local versions so the user can decide to use them or not? Websites with a high privacy convern would benefit.

Embedding it myself isn’t as much fun as your solution as they don’t come with short codes and the text editor additions.

This is the feature I dislike the most about Better Font Awesome — loading font awesome by default from jsdelivr.

To prevent this, I add the following code:

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', function() {
	wp_dequeue_style( 'bfa-font-awesome' );
}, 16 );

Sure, thing, you could do that. Better yet, use the bfa_force_fallback filter that’s provided. See the documentation for more details: https://github.com/MickeyKay/better-font-awesome-library#bfa_force_fallback

Marking this as resolved. Let me know if I can be of any further help.
