Font-awesome not working with WordPress

    I’ve seen similar posts on here, but they have to do with theme specific issues and they were closed so I couldn’t ask any more questions – thus I’m posting my own question hoping someone can help.

    I cannot get font-awesome to work properly, it just loads a “?” instead of the proper icon. It works on my main page (not WP), lloydiv.ninja, but not on the blog (WP) lloydiv.ninja/blog. The issue is in the footer, middle section, under the “AROUND THE WEB”.

    I’ve seen some suggestions about editing the htaccess – that’s a little beyond my knowledge, but I’m very happy to try if someone can give me a little more detail. Also, I’m hosting with iPage.

    Thanks a ton for any help!

  • Try adding this code to your CSS Editor or Child Theme

    footer.text-center * {
    font-family: FontAwesome;
}

    Thanks for the suggestion Erik, it got me on the right path. I ended up targeting them more specific with 

    i.footer-social {
    padding-top: 10px;
}

    Which means I added an extra class and had to give it some padding to center it in the circle.
