Their service wasn’t working correctly and registering page views against my quota on a site that wasn’t using fontawesome. When I asked for support, they weren’t helpful, then stopped responding, communicated like children, then DELETED my entire account causing me hours of update time for several client sites. I will NEVER use again.

In a world where you are working in the block editor or the FSE environment this plugin is just too mediocre to be acceptable.
You insert Font Awesome icons through the paragraph block and are shown a freaking short code. You don’t event see the icon inside the block editor. You then have to open a separate tab in your browser and load up the website’s front end in order to examine it. At that point you will probably discover that the icon is way too small. So no you then need to go back to your short code inside the block editor and mess around with appending CSS classes to it. Bouncing back and fourth until you find the right size for your project.
This misses the entire point of the block editor and modern WordPress. You guys can do better. The Font Awesome icon library truly lives up to its name, awesome. It deserves an awesome WordPress plugin. Not this mediocrity.

Some serious maintenance needs to happen here, this is useless

Very weird implementation for block editors like Gutenberg – no separate block, can only add it to text or through shortcodes which makes things unnecessarily complicated. The icon picker is buggy on top.
Not great for an official plugin in 2024.

コード書くのが面倒でこのプラグインを使っています。今後もノーコード感覚で使いやすいものを提供していただけると助かります。ありがとうございました。

Using the CDN or Kit option there’s no difference, most of the 2,020 free icons found on fontawesome page by searching with the “Free” filter won’t show at all, just a crossed out rectangle appears. Backward compatibility selected 6.x or 5.x, tried every combination and many many many many Free Icons,
It’s the official plugin guys… can’t you do it rigth? Maybe your select and insert block friendly thing works. But some of us need to use the pseudo-element method.
By the way thanks for the plugin…

For a free product this works quite well and allows users to quickly add font-awesome to their site without messing with custom code. If they offered a Pro version of this then it would definitely need to be cleaned up to work more easily on the editor side, however for a free piece of software its pretty nice and allows me to more easily integrate font-awesome into my sites.
Thanks!

As soon as I enabled it the entire site was down – stuck with the browser trying to connect to fontawesome.

The Font Awesome plugin makes it easy to stay on top of the latest version that is otherwise hidden away in some assets folder. Block editor support makes it easy to insert icons without having to remember their names. Can’t wait for version 6.

This plugin work great as they did not left the junk behind in the DB on uninstalled.
But I found no option to use the Font Awesome assets (such as CSS+fonts) on my local site without CDN access.
For example that I may have to install the website and then use in the intranet where no external access.
However, there is some errors with WordPress 5.9-RC2-52567, PHP 7.1. It said:
]]>Undefined variable: should_enable_icon_chooser in font-awesome\includes\class-fontawesome.php on line 1623

Just as the name implies – awesome plugin! I use it for all of the pages & posts on my site & the icons are super easy to add with the Visual Composer website builder frontend editor. Would recommend checking it out!

Allowed simple linking to my pro kits on Font Awesome. Simple and quick to use.

Update: They refunded me after issues so I revised my rating. I do hope they update their Pro service. Original review below.
I upgraded to Pro because I thought it would speed up my site with their SVGs and the kit. My site load time went from 8 seconds to 20 seconds! If I deactivate the plugin to remove FA my site loads in 3 seconds. I know HTML and CSS so I know what I am doing here.
I have spent 2 months trying to figure out their documentation when I can figure out other programming languages in a couple days. The documentation is vague and not intuitive. Their customer support is equally as bad with one sentence answers that don’t answer the question.
I think I might just go without icons to speed up might site. I want my money back!

I purchased FontAwesome PRO, but it would not work with my theme. I contacted tech support several times for assistance. At first they tried to help, but when their solutions didn’t solve the problem, they quit responding. Furthermore, they refused to refund the $99 I had paid for PRO saying, “We don’t give refunds for downloadable commercial software.” Well, you have to download it to try it. And if it doesn’t work, and their tech support can’t provide a solution, it stands to reason that a refund is in order.
I finally challenged the charge with my credit card company and got the refund, but it took a lot of time and effort on my part. I’m a website designer and have never had this type of issue with a plugin developer. Needless to say, I won’t be buying the PRO version of FontAwesome for any future projects.

I operate multiple (double digits) sites and have tried a host of Font Awesome plugins – none of them works as effectively as this one, the official one. Very simple but it just does what it’s designed to do – many thanks …

I have 2 sites that are almost identical running on the same server environment. On one site I’m able to enable the plugin and on the other I get this error: “The Font Awesome plugin caught a fatal error: Font Awesome could not be activated.”
It’s maddening.

Does what it says. Great for out-of-the box themes or child themes that are using a low-code approach. Works with the block editor.

Font didnt work within the plugin it was linked to and then when I asked them about it, was told I wont help you unless you pay, read the instructions or ask the forum. Thats like me going into a shop and being told I will only answer your question if you give me money, but read the the tag info or ask another customer.

I can finally use the latest version of Font Awesome. I tried another plugin which claimed to be ‘always up to date’, but it wasn’t.

After hours and hours of investigation and dead ends, I discovered that it is the Font Awesome plugin that causes Elementor and Elementor Pro editors to grey screen. Why, I do not know! Disabled the plugin and my site works fine again.

Been trying to fix the font awesome icons that came with my template for two hours. Found this and it fixed it right after installation, I mean like in one minute. All I had to do was activate the plugin!
Thanks!!!!!

Хотя плагин должен облегчать и украшать сайт, он делает дополнительные внешние запросы при загрузке страницы сайта. Это минус.
В остальном всё плюс.

I installed this to improve my icon loading time. I’m sure I could have optimized loading somewhere else, but going from loading the Font Awesome library from code in the header to the plugin, my icons went from loading last on the page to no visible loading time at all.

Funciona perfeitamente em qualquer tema, ótimo para quem está criando um tema ou quando o tema n?o possui o font awesome atualizado, perfeito !!!
