Is it possible to use Font Awesome Icons for Categories?
Hi,
I tried to include Terence’s code in the header and it didnt work. So I went on http://fontawesome.io/get-started/ , subscribed and got a new script line per email that I included in the header of my askbug-child theme.
Then I went in the category options of Anspress and I tried different classes:
- f0a1 => nothing shown
- fa-bullhorn => square shown as if it was applied but the icon is not found
- fa fa-bullhorn => working PROPERLY! 🙂
I guess this answer might help very newbies
Sincerely,
This does not work at all , add it class “fa fa-iconname” but the result does not give at all
Also do not work I’ve put png icons instead
Anyone wanting to use FontAwesome might find this page useful ~Â http://glyphsearch.com/?library=font-awesome
If you click on the icon it will copy the class and FontAwesome icon ~ or serveral other icon families ~ ready for you to paste in your categories, for example.
I think you forgot to mention, first you need to add…
<span class="nt"><link</span> <span class="na">rel=</span><span class="s">"stylesheet"</span> <span class="na">href=</span><span class="s">"https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css"</span><span class="nt">></span>
…to your site’s header.
I tried but couldn’t get it to work with AskBug until I did so.
You know, you can add more icons in AnsPress inbuilt icons. Simply visit http://icomoon.io/app and import AnsPress icon JSON from fonts folder to icomoon.
Thanks. I have 141 AP categories so far, and counting, and to try and get them looking right I need a very large pool to chose from. I found out mixing the native icons with FA for example produces category boxes of all different sizes, so I am fixed on FA for the moment.
Yes you can, simply use their icon class.
Great! Though I tried to use it and no luck so far.
Here is a screenshot: http://www.clubpap.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/icons.png
First icon is your icon class
Second and third are Font Awesome:
fa-users
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/users/
fa-user-md
http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icon/user-md/
Am i right to put “fa-users” and “fa-user-md” in icon class fields?
I think you forgot to mention, first add to your sites header. I could get to work with AskBug until I did so.
Please explain exactly what you mean by “use their icon class”
I mean after including fontawesome in header you can user their icon class “fa fa-iconname”.
Yup,I thought that’s what you meant. Thanks for the for the confirmation.
Is FA included in head?
