Hi everyone,
Wow, thanks for the widespread heads up. Bottom line, this issue is fixed now with version 1.0.1. Please do update immediately and I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience.
Here’s the explanation of the issue and solution if you’re interested. . .
In a very rare occurrence, the jsDelivr API has been down today. According to Dmitriy from jsDelivr:
We hit a unique Github limit and it broke jsDelivr’s API.
I’ve spend a lot of effort making sure BFA handles errors well, but since jsDelivr API has been so darned reliable, that error check had simple slipped past my radar. Anyhow, the fix is now in place.
As with most error handling for BFA, if something goes wrong, it is smart enough to output the error in an admin notice, and automatically fall back to the included backup copy of Font Awesome. That way, your icons will still render perfectly and you’ll know what the problem is in case I, or you, need to debug.
So while the jsDelivr is down – I was told this would likely be fixed tomorrow – your site will just continue happily using the backup copy. When the API comes back online again, BFA will grab the latest version, cache it away for the allotted amount of time, and proceed on its merry way.
So once again, I can’t thank y’all enough for the group heads up. It’s often the best way for me to figure out what’s going on.
All the best, and please let me know if you have any further issues.
– Mickey
