Description

Manager for IcoMoon helps you use icon fonts generated with the IcoMoon app inside WordPress.

You can import a custom IcoMoon ZIP package, browse the available icons in the admin, and insert icons in your content with shortcodes or direct HTML from the Gutenberg editor.

Main features:

Import IcoMoon font ZIP packages, including packages generated by the newer IcoMoon app.
Analyze a custom font package before installing it.
Preview new and removed icons before replacing the current font.
Detect removed icons that may already be used in post content.
Warn when IcoMoon settings such as class prefix or postfix change and may affect direct HTML icons.
Optionally update existing direct HTML icon classes when compatible icons still exist.
Insert icons from the Gutenberg editor as shortcode or HTML.
Organize icons into categories by using a separator in IcoMoon icon names.
List available icons with their shortcode, HTML markup, and code.
Restore the default icon pack if needed.

Shortcodes are generally safer for long-term content because they rely on the icon name. Direct HTML gives more markup control, but may be affected when generated CSS classes change.

Quick start

Create your icon font in the IcoMoon app.
If you want categories, rename icons with a separator between the category and the icon name. Example: social--facebook with separator -- will be listed in category social.
Download the font ZIP from IcoMoon.
Upload the ZIP from the plugin upload screen and review the import summary before installation.
Configure the same category separator in the plugin settings if you use categorized names.
Insert icons with shortcodes or the Gutenberg editor buttons.

Before replacing an existing font pack, keep a copy of your IcoMoon project or manifest file. Removed icons can stop displaying in existing content.

FAQ

How do icon categories work?

Categories are based on icon names from IcoMoon. Set a category separator in the plugin settings, then use the same separator in IcoMoon icon names.

For example, with separator --, an icon named social--facebook is displayed in category social with icon name facebook.

Should I insert icons with shortcode or HTML?

Use shortcodes when possible. They are more resilient when generated CSS classes change after importing a new IcoMoon package.

Use direct HTML when you need full markup control. Before replacing a font pack, check the import summary carefully because prefix, postfix, or CSS class changes may affect existing direct HTML icons.

What happens when I upload a new ZIP package?

The plugin analyzes the ZIP before installing it. The import summary lists new icons, removed icons, detected usage of removed icons, and settings changes that may impact existing content.

Can the plugin update existing HTML icon classes?

When compatible icons still exist in the new font pack, the import screen can offer an option to update direct HTML classes in the database for prefix or postfix changes. Always review the import summary before using it.

It can be very useful (together with Icomoon web app to generate your own font glyphs) to implement custom font icons in your website. 1.2.2 works fine and Icomoon web app can easily import selection.json file exported through this plugin.
