Feed Icon Not Showing in updated theme

Because I replaced the Genericons icon font with Font Awesome icons, that probably did it. However, all I did was replace the RSS icon with the font awesome one. In the style.css, the code stayed the same:

.social a[href$="/feed/"]:before {
	content: "\f09e";
}

When you make your custom link for the feed url on your menu, that code will load that icon if the url has /feed/ in it. This part has not changed with this recent version update excerpt the icon (which is the correct rss icon).

You may have to add custom CSS for your feedburner which uses it’s own url structure without the /feed/ in it. Try this:

.social a[href*="feeds.feedburner.com"]:before {
	content: "\f09e";
}

Thanks,

That CSS worked thank you.

Just for you to know, the standard website feed comes up with the gear icon as well.

Glad it worked…as for the other feed url, it’s going to depend on what the URL is. The URL portion of code that I used for the CSS code to generate the icon is what I grabbed from the default WordPress themes, for example, Twenty Fifteen.

If a URL does not contain the /feed/ part, then custom CSS will be required to work with the type of RSS URL that is being used, such as the feedburner one.

The cog icon will display as a fallback icon for any URL that is not part of the social icon styling.

What I plan to do with future updates for all my themes is to add new URL parameters to the CSS as users report similar problems of the RSS icon not showing. I’ve just added Feedburner to the stylesheet, but will have to wait until I update the theme later.

You’re fabulous.

The other feed that didn’t work for me was https://mywebsite/feed
But I’m happy with what I have for now.

Kindest wishes,
