Got a link to where the problem is occurring?

I can load this page full of Font Awesome More Icons without problems in IE8.

Hmm, interesting idea. I’ll think about that. However, you can easily style the icons via normal CSS, since it’s just “text” on a page. That’s what I do, but then again, I’m a developer so it’s possible other non-developers might be interested in this option too.

For a chrome icon, you could color it like this in CSS:

i.icon-chrome { color: blue; }

Hope that helps.

You can add in any options into the shortcode “name” field that you would normally put into the “class” attribute in HTML. Or you can just do straight HTML instead of shortcodes, if you so prefer. But this works:
[icon name="icon-paypal icon-2x"]

Icon stacks don’t work via shortcode (most likely, you can try it) as it’s a bit more tricky and you’ll have to use HTML for that. However, I already have some development code in the works that would allow stacks via shortcodes. Will likely be a month or two before I can fully implement that, however.

Buttons are not actually part of Font Awesome. What they are demonstrating on that page is Bootstrap buttons, but using Font Awesome icons inside of them. So if you have Bootstrap, or your theme supports buttons, you can use Font Awesome icons inside them.

For example, I’m using a WooTheme on my blog and I’ve put a Font Awesome icon inside a button provided by the theme (see the download link at the bottom of the page): https://blog.webguysaz.com/font-awesome-more-icons-wordpress-plugin/

Let me know if you still need help or more clarification.
