    • No I did not replace the file or did any other changes. Just put - fab fa-x-twitter - in the box of FA4.

      Regarding the FA CDN I don't know. The 2 sites / templates are Remnant and Studius.

    • Hmmmm, I would guess you have some other Plugin/Extensions that's loading FA 6... I don't think Joomla loads FA at all... maybe? What Joomla ver?

    • Joomla 5.1.2

      If you want I can give you access to a site so you can check by yourself.

    • Thanks, I'll still do some testing because I'm curious but if you just link me to the frontend of your site I can inspect where/how the FA6 files are loading from there

    • I've been watching this conversation on my thread. :) I can't get Alain's solution to work. The site that I've been testing on is using the Orion theme. I've tried with both Font Awesome 4 and 6. While using 6, I see it in the picker but it doesn't show up on the site. While using 4, I don't see X-twitter at all. I also need Tiktok so there's that too. I'd love to hear more.
    • Best wishes,

    • So on Alain's site it's definitely something else that's loading FA 6... and it looks to me like it's a plugin/extension just called "Fontawesome Free"

      /media/vendor/fontawesome-free/webfonts/fa-brands-400.woff2

      You see it in the Picker?

      Swap the woff2/ttf files with the ones I attached here previously and it should render... same for tiktok if you just use the "fab" code manually in the icon picker field

    • I confirm that there is a directory called /media/vendor/fontawesome-free

      I checked by FTP and there is 3 folders and a licence file.

      You may see the licence file (.txt) in attachment.

      But I have no idea how this folder has been installed. If I check from Joomla admin plugin and module there is no fontawesome-free.

      I just checked the /media/vendor/fontawesome-free/css folder and inside there is a file Font Awesome Free 6.5.1 by @fontawesome - fontawesome.com

    • I was incorrect thinking it was a plugin because I didn't see it on Joomla's Github but it is indeed packaged with their installer... so it's a core Joomla inclusion... I'm just not sure why I don't see it on some sites... I don't think Joomla loads it be default?? But I'm also not sure how (or if you can) to turn it on/off.

    • I am afraid I don't have the answer.

      By any chance, could this have been installed by my host?
