Please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems that the current activello use font-awesome 4.4. There will be more icons released in the future for sure, so I would like to know if it is possible to update font awesome to newer version.
Currently I cannot use any icons that are only available in version 4.5 onwards
I’m using Activello 1.0.2 with some customization in my child theme. I dont think any of my customization makes the fontawesome icon not working though, as every icons that is available in version 4.4 and below works fine.
Also, in case if I want to use an icon that is only available in fontawesome 4.6, can I update it manually?
To use latest fontawesome library you have to just add the latest font awesome font-awesome.min.css file in the css directory of your child theme and then add the following code in the functions.php file of your child theme.
That works perfectly.
I did further debugging and the culprit was one one of my plugin overrides the theme setting for fontawesome.
So I had to dequeue the fontawesome script of the plugin and and enqueue again the theme setting.
