@phenomlab the free version
@pwsincd Here’s the steps to add
- Open the ACP, and go to Appearance -> Custom Header. Within the custom header, we need to add
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.4/css/all.min.css" integrity="sha512-1ycn6IcaQQ40/MKBW2W4Rhis/DbILU74C1vSrLJxCq57o941Ym01SwNsOMqvEBFlcgUa6xLiPY/NS5R+E6ztJQ==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer" />It should look like the below. Don’t forget to add the
DOCTYPEand<head>values before anything else.
- In the same location, we need to add
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.4/js/all.min.js" integrity="sha512-Tn2m0TIpgVyTzzvmxLNuqbSJH3JP8jm+Cy3hvHrW7ndTDcJ1w5mBiksqDBb8GpE2ksktFvDB/ykZ0mDpsZj20w==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>You should now have something like the below
Ensure that both of the below are on
Save the changes
This will now pull the required CSS and JS from the CDN on each page load. When attempting to use the font itself, you will need to identify it with
font-family, so for example.mytarget { font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free"; font-weight: 900; }Note that the free version only supports the solid icons, so it’s necessary to set the
font-weightattribute.If you are looking to replace the existing icons, let me know as this requires additional configuration for it to work properly. This is something I do with a Pro subscription I have that Sudonix is using.

@pwsincd No, you should be able to override all of them, but likely on a one-by-one basis. You could use the css class of

Let me know if feasible, and I’ll create an account.

@pwsincd hi. Just following up on this thread (I know it’s old) but was curious to understand if it’s still an issue or not ?
