    Hi,

    **(I currently disabled the contact widget until the problem can be fixed)**

    Recently (after there have been no issues for over a year), I noticed after troubleshooting, that the Contact Widgets (from GoDaddy) no longer works properly with my Screener Plus theme. For some reason when the plugin is activated, it turns various icons that are located throughout my pages (Facebook, instagram, twitter, and others) into a flashing question mark / exclamation point – where it is not able to recognize the icon. After speaking to Screener Plus (famed themes), and discovering which plugging caused the issue, here was there response:

    David repliedJun 8, 16:00 “Hi Anthony,I recommend you try to use a different plugin. Because this plugin auto converts all FontAwesome icon to SVG type. That is why the icon does not appear properly.Or you can submit the issue to plugin’s author to ask for help.” I would like to use this plugin again so i can display my address, additional social media icons etc in my sidebar and footer.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi @anthaface,

    I’m facing the same problem,here is my report and some responses from the development team:

    As a temporary workaround until the developers of Contact Widgets provide a solution, you can try adding a piece of Javascript to your website which will disable the “missing icon” icon.

    <script>
window.FontAwesomeConfig = { showMissingIcons: false }
</script>

    This script must be placed above the reference to the Font Awesome 5 javascript file.

    Hi all,

    We are going to investigate the issue here. It sounds like the theme and or plugin you are using is still referencing Font Awesome 4, and Font Awesome 5 is attempting to convert those to the new icons.

    Let me do some testing and see what we can do about the conflicts with themes loading Font Awesome 4 and Contact Widgets loading Font Awesome 5. The solution that @loganstrike posted above appears to be a reasonable solution and something we may be able to include in Contact Widgets in the next release.

    Thank you for the information shared here. We’ve got a pull request setup and ready to merge, which will resolve this issue in the next release of the plugin.

    Thanks again. I will post back here when we’ve merge and released the patch to www.remarpro.com

    This should now be resolved in Contact Widgets v1.5.1 which has been released here on www.remarpro.com. Let us know if you are still encountering issues after the update.
