Symbols not showing on my pages

  • I am using the GeneratePress free version (so far) on a staging site. It is not recognizing any symbols. In stead it displays only a generic place-holder square for all symbols. These symbols are things like down-arrows on a menu indicating a drop-down list or a shopping cart symbol, etc. This happens on all browsers including Incognito. I am coming from Astra theme free and I would like to purchase the PRO version of GPress if I like what I see. I want to be happy with the free version before spending on the Pro version.

    Hi there,

    This is unlikely a theme issue.

    Can you disable all plugins to test?

    Let me know ??

    Hi Leo, I also believe that it is not the theme but the symbols are displayed perfectly with Astra theme. Disabling all the plugins would be a horrendous task because I have so many. Is there a simpler way? Fortunately, I can hack with the staging site.

    Unfortunately there isn’t a simpler way – I would have suggested it if there is one ??

    You would want to test it in a staging environment then.

    OK, I will do it (grrrrrrrrr) because I really want to upgrade my website. I will post what happens. The main reason I want GPress Pro is to eliminate the need for a lot of my current plugins. Will that do the trick?

    Unfortunately I cannot answer this question as it totally depends on what plugins you are using. I will say that we only add essential options (options that most of our users need) to GP Premium to keep the performance optimized. You can review the options available here: https://generatepress.com/premium/

    Yes, of course that makes sense. Mine is an ecommerce store and I want a better, more descriptive and flashy menu, and much better detailed search function. Are you part of GP theme development?

    GP’s menu system is quite simple (as it works for most of our users) so I doubt it would have the flashy feature you are looking for.

    And yes I’m a technical support person for GeneratePress.

    If GP does not have a nice MEGA MENU, then can you recommend a solution. My website feels too “patched” and I would like a viable solution.

    (@leohsiang)

    You can build a simple mega menu with the CSS provided here (without premium): https://docs.generatepress.com/article/building-simple-mega-menu/

    If you need something more flashy and complicated then look for a mega menu specific plugin.

    Thank you, I will look for a MEGA MENU plugin. I am looking at JetMenu by Crocoblock.

    No problem ??
