Functional Post

Thank you, Jeremy.

I’m not really sure if this is going to work for you. If it doesn’t, post your url so I can have a look at your html and css and determine which selectors are we gonna have to use.

Here is what you will do:
For pocket, for example:

.sd-social-icon .sd-content ul li[class*=share-].share-pocket > a:before{
 background: white;
}
.sd-social-icon .sd-content ul li[class*=share-].share-pocket a.sd-button{
background: white;
}

Two selectors are being used because the button consists of two parts. If this is not working for you, I’m leaving this post open so you can post here and I can help you. I’m being notified via email.

a media query probably sets it to width: 100% so I think it’s not going to be a problem.

I tried to set .sidebar from 28.5% to 24% but what it does is only make the content inside be narrower and not the whole sidebar itself.

Therefore, as a good and responsible WordPress support user, I must mark this topic resolved.

Ok thanks Andrew. I think I can do that.

Sorry I probably confused you Andrew. .fa-whatever:before{content=""; background=url("...")} replaces the FA icon but since it has the .fa class, its styling is determined by the stylesheet located in rowling>fa>css which is why I cannot dequeue the stylesheet.

Nope Andrew. I did it in my child theme’s stylesheet.

The only way I can be helped is if some expert enter my parent theme’s functions.php and remove the codes to prevent enqueuing and registering of Font Awesome icons altogether. But that would be asking too much from that person. So, thank you again for your time and efforts. I’m grateful.

no. I do not wish to dequeue the stylesheet because the custom icons I’m using are implemented using .fa fw fa-whatever:before{};. So without the stylesheet the icons would be all out of place.

I have tried purging cache both on cloudflare and w3 total cache which means the http requests still exist. I have just replaced the font awesome files with blank ones with the same file names and file extensions. So only around 0 bytes is being served and downloaded but the http requests take time. Thank you for your time and effort, actually can’t thank enough. ??

Done. But request is still being made. You can check out for yourself.
