    Hi
    I’m getting a 404 (Not Found) for genericons.css when I activate the theme,
    and I see an empty square instead of the icon in the menu.

    In functions.php:
    wp_enqueue_style( 'genericons', get_template_directory_uri() . '/genericons/genericons.css', array(), '3.4.1' );

    But the genericons.css is in this folder: \assets\fonts\genericons

  • Hi @poena!

    I see exactly what you mean – specifically in the menu, the icon indicating the presence of a dropdown menu is a blank character.

    It looks like the path to the genericons stylesheet isn’t set correctly. I’ll file a bug report to have that fixed.

    Two workarounds for now – first and easiest, install and activate the Jetpack plugin. That should get the genericons working properly through the plugin’s styles.

    Second, if you’d like, you can set up a child theme to fix the path.

    In the functions.php file of your child theme, paste the following:

    function genericon_fix() {
    wp_dequeue_style( 'genericons' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'genericons-fixed', get_template_directory_uri() . '/assets/fonts/genericons/genericons.css', array(), '3.4.1' );
}

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'genericon_fix', 12 );

    That removes the bad path and replaces it with the correct one.

    Thanks so much for pointing this out! We’ll let you know when it’s fixed within the theme directly ??

    Howdy!

    Thanks for pointing out this bug. We’ve fixed Karuna so it points to correct path for Genericons and have resubmitted it to www.remarpro.com for review. Hope this helps. ??

    Cheers,
    Caroline
