Multisite support

Hey @dountill,

After a recent update most of the working subsites in my multisite are having missing items.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by missing items?

Also, new created subsites are automatically set to FA version 6.0

That is true that the default behavior of this plugin is to use the latest version of FontAwesome unless a previous version was already in place (from an upgrade of the plugin) or a previous version is manually selected.

There is a filter you can use to override the major version number that I believe should apply across all of your subsites: ACFFA_override_major_version, you can return a value of 4, 5, or 6 to this filter.

I have an API code, but can’t seem to find a place where I can set it for my whole multisite network. Is that correct or am I missing something? If not, will there be support for multisites?

I think you are speaking of a FontAwesome API Token. This only applies to version 6.x of FontAwesome in this plugin. It sounds like in multisite you are having to set this token individually for each of your sites? This isn’t something I had considered during development but I could see how that might be a pain. I’d have to research what the best way to approach “global” settings for this would be. In addition to the API Token there are other settings that would probably need to be considered.

Thanks for your reply. Some of the icons are missing in the list, that was what I ment with missing items. I tried to use the filter, although it does seem to work, all the selectors are still showing the new v6 method of selecting/searching for icons.

Since this plug-in updated I opted in for FA Pro as an attempt to fix the above issues and upgrade to a newer version. Since I have a few multisites with over 100 subsites in them it is indeed a lot of work to put a API code in them.

Also, I don’t want my users to see my API code. I’ll surely keep an eye out for updates on your plug-in. But for now I think in my situation it is better to role back to the automatic v5 version.

Some of the icons are missing in the list, that was what I ment with missing items.

Thanks, I got another report from another user that the icon manifest for 5.x free icons is incorrect. I’ve fixed it on my end now but unfortunately it is still cached through the CDN and I am waiting to hear back from them on how to clear that cache.

In the meantime it does not affect the 5.x pro manifest.

The issue with missing icons in FontAwesome 5.x free should be resolved with todays release of v4.0.3 of this plugin. Let me know if you continue to see any issues there.

As for the multisite improvements I think they are good suggestions. I’ll need some more time in my schedule to setup a multisite dev/testing environment, but they are on my list.
