Fixed Font Awesome icons not showing

This fixes itself in Beta 2.

This fixes itself in Beta 2.

I bet you're thinking if only all bugs fixed themselves

 

[Chris D]

I was perhaps giving the bug a little too much credit there. This one was more the responsibility of @Naz but to be honest with you he fixed it last week and I don't think any of us realised. Or at least I didn't

Just updated to Beta 2 vial the admin panel and nothing has changed. I assume this will trigger at some point automatically?

 

[Chris D]

There's a new rebuild tool under Tools > Rebuild caches which will rebuild icon usage.

Could you try running that to see what happens?

 

[Newsman]

It says cache rebuilding has been successful but nothing has changed..

Since my usage of icons might be weird, I just put a <xf:fa>-tag with icon on a random template (forum_view) to see if it would work/load and I rebuilt the cache for icon usage again but nothing is changing (fwiw, I'm on a localhost machine rn - could that be a factor?)

This is how the icon load into the templates rn:

<i class="fa--xf far fa-solid fa-heart ">
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="" role="img" aria-hidden="true"></svg>
</i>

That doesn't seem related to this bug.

This was about no icons showing (even default icons) after upgrading.

If you have a new issue, I recommend posting a new thread in the first instance.

We'll need to see the exact code you're using to produce the above output.

Styling and customizations is probably the best forum for now.

is xf:fa superseded by xf:icon in 2.3?

It is in XF 3...

<xf:icon class="fa-chevron-left" />
