    I updated the plug-in and now I can’t add new icons from new version. The font awesome library is empty.

    The temporary solution I found was downloading the SVG icons from Font Awesome, then uploading to WordPress. But, it’s double the work. It would be nice if you had access to the entire icons library!

    Solving this was hard work.

    1) in Elementor settings – advanced, make sure the Load font awesome 4 support drop down is set to Yes.
    1) Go to any page and edit with Elementor
    2) Add an icon anywhere on the page
    3) You should see a pop up asking you to upgrade
    4) You May also have to go to dashboard- Elementor – tools or settings and confirm the upgrade on the font awesome tab. If there is no Tab then you are probably good.
    5) Upgrade Elementor and Elementor pro
    6) Run the database updates if you see a message to
    7) Clear ALL caches
    8) Test in an incognito browser

    This has affected me on 2 major sites and these steps fixed both.
