    SOLVED FontAwesome Social Icons Not Showing Up - Helium

    Posted 6 years 11 months ago
    • Good Afternoon,

      I'm using Helium on my WordPress site, and the social icons are just showing up as square boxes. I usually use Joomla to build websites, so I'm at a loss as to how to go about troubleshooting this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

    • It would seem that you have tried to install fontawesome 5 free which is not backwards compatible with fontawesome 4 (provided in the template)?

      Please would you post your URL, admin id and pswd in the secure tab of your post and I'll have a look for you.

      Regards, Mark.

    • Okay, that is weird. I definitely don't remember adding a newer version of FontAwesome. I have posted the requested info. Thanks for taking a look.

    • It's what I said. You've loaded fontawesome 5 which will break Gantry 5 functionality as it is not yet compatible with fontawesome 5.

      https://github.com/gantry/gantry5/issues/2196

      Remove the stylesheet that you added in the base outline > page settings.

      Regards, Mark.

    • Thank you. I honestly don't remember doing that. Must have been when I was first setting up in December. Thank you!
