DELETED entire account on me

By coloradocory on October 23, 2024

Their service wasn't working correctly and registering page views against my quota on a site that wasn't using fontawesome. When I asked for support, they weren't helpful, then stopped responding, communicated like children, then DELETED my entire account causing me hours of update time for several client sites. I will NEVER use again.

Not good enough!

By Michael (Ottaviano) on September 4, 2024

In a world where you are working in the block editor or the FSE environment this plugin is just too mediocre to be acceptable.

You insert Font Awesome icons through the paragraph block and are shown a freaking short code. You don't event see the icon inside the block editor. You then have to open a separate tab in your browser and load up the website's front end in order to examine it. At that point you will probably discover that the icon is way too small. So no you then need to go back to your short code inside the block editor and mess around with appending CSS classes to it. Bouncing back and fourth until you find the right size for your project.

This misses the entire point of the block editor and modern WordPress. You guys can do better. The Font Awesome icon library truly lives up to its name, awesome. It deserves an awesome WordPress plugin. Not this mediocrity.

Breaks website

Some serious maintenance needs to happen here, this is useless

Not too useful in 2024

By destroy666 on March 27, 2024

Very weird implementation for block editors like Gutenberg - no separate block, can only add it to text or through shortcodes which makes things unnecessarily complicated. The icon picker is buggy on top.

Not great for an official plugin in 2024.

ノーコード感覚が良い

コード書くのが面倒でこのプラグインを使っています。今後もノーコード感覚で使いやすいものを提供していただけると助かります。ありがとうございました。

Most of the free icons won't show using the pseudo-element method

By egocefalo on February 20, 2023

Using the CDN or Kit option there's no difference, most of the 2,020 free icons found on fontawesome page by searching with the "Free" filter won't show at all, just a crossed out rectangle appears. Backward compatibility selected 6.x or 5.x, tried every combination and many many many many Free Icons,

It's the official plugin guys... can't you do it rigth? Maybe your select and insert block friendly thing works. But some of us need to use the pseudo-element method.

By the way thanks for the plugin...

Excellent Free Product

By Cory Lamle (cory@lamle.org) on February 4, 2023

For a free product this works quite well and allows users to quickly add font-awesome to their site without messing with custom code. If they offered a Pro version of this then it would definitely need to be cleaned up to work more easily on the editor side, however for a free piece of software its pretty nice and allows me to more easily integrate font-awesome into my sites. Thanks!

Terrible it brokes everyting in my site

By sophisticated on July 21, 2022

It brokes everything on my website. Icons don't work properly. Never set up it.

Broke my site

By Jimmy (jimmyastro) on July 14, 2022

As soon as I enabled it the entire site was down - stuck with the browser trying to connect to fontawesome. not very awesome...

Great free icons

By Uwe Jacobs (uwejacobs) on March 29, 2022

The Font Awesome plugin makes it easy to stay on top of the latest version that is otherwise hidden away in some assets folder. Block editor support makes it easy to insert icons without having to remember their names. Can't wait for version 6.
