Font Awesome no longer works
-
All of a sudden the font awesome stopped working the icons don’t display in both the admin side and front. On the front end I tested every font and it was the same for all.
I’m using the Hueman theme.

Looks like the pasted image didn’t work so I put it here: https://imgur.com/a/uwTCp8i
Hi,
We apologize, but an older version of Font Awesome (3.7.27) is conflicting with the latest plugin version (6.x), causing display issues. The older version (https://wabisabicycling.com/wp-content/themes/hueman/assets/front/css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=3.7.27) is overriding the newer one.
Thank you!
Thanks for spotting that. However font awesome is not something that I added, it is part of the Hueman theme. (and worked well until recently)
However, I tested deleting the version for font-awesome from the Hueman theme (which despite the v3 tag was actually v5) so now it doesn’t load that version (404s), however the alert box’s icon still doesn’t work so this doesn’t appear to be a font-awesome issue (it would also be strange the font-awesome wasn’t backwards compatible)
The v5 of font-awesome is still removed (so still 404’ing) so you can still see the icon is broken: https://wabisabicycling.com/kakishima-kaido/

Hi @paullb,
Your site still using font awesome v3. Its needs v6 to use Alert Box Block.
Thank you!Hi @charlescormier,
It’s only using v6. (the only font-awseome file which is being used is this one which is being included by this plugin) (the v3 one from the Hueman theme I have disabled by renaming it so it 404s:
https://wabisabicycling.com/wp-content/plugins/alert-box-block/public/css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=6.4.2
I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference.This also doesn’t quite explain why it worked perfectly a few weeks ago, did this plug update recently to require FontAwesome v6?
I did some further tests, as you can see font awesome 6 is actually being applied but all the icons are still broken.

Any progress on this?
I love this plugin but if it isn’t being supported anymore and will stay broken, I’ll have to uninstall it.
Hi,
Please use the older version of Alert Box Block v1.1.0. It should work with your theme.
Thank you!No sure why this has been resolved. It’s not fixed.
Is this plugin not being updated any more?Hi @paullb,
On your webpage, 2 Font Awesome libraries are loading.
From the plugin v6.4.2: https://wabisabicycling.com/wp-content/plugins/alert-box-block/public/css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=6.4.2
After that from the theme v3.7.27: https://wabisabicycling.com/wp-content/themes/hueman/assets/front/css/font-awesome.min.css?ver=3.7.27
v3.7.27 Font Awesome is overwriting the v6.4.2, that’s why it’s not working. See the screenshot
Thank you!
As I shared on the post with screenshot of DevTools on June 7, that isn’t the case. Even with the font awesome 3 disabled and only the 6 enabled. It still didn’t work. (as you can see from the screenshot, Font Awesome 3 is not interacting, with only Font Awesome 6 the icons are still broken)
Can you add a screenshot showing that the font awesome is being overridden and that is causing the alert box to break?
