 * I see an error in frontend editor of visual composer fetched form maxbutton:
 * Refused to apply style from ‘[https://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/maxbuttons/assets/libraries/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css?wp-mce-4800-20180716&#8217](https://domain.com/wp-content/plugins/maxbuttons/assets/libraries/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css?wp-mce-4800-20180716&#8217);
   because its MIME type (‘text/html’) is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, 
   and strict MIME checking is enabled. If you try to go to the url the file is 
   404. Tried on staging to extract the plugin in file manager to reupload all files
   without success solving the issue.

 * Hi,
 * Which version of the plugin are you using? I suspect it’s not the latest one (
   7.5), I would recommend to upgrade.

 * It occurs during the previous version but is now updated before creating this
   ticket. The upgrade did not solve this issue though, which I hoped. Any other
   ideas or suggestion or can look into it? Maybe sharing the staging environment
   to have a look?

 * That’s weird, because that file doesn’t exist anymore in recent versions. Is 
   there in the settings some reference to this file ?

 * The issue appears in the console when editing with visual composer frontend editor.
   That’s all I can see.

 * Maybe ask with VC then. I don’t have a recent version of it, so I can’t really
   check why it’s looking for a non-existing file.

 * hmm ok but not purchased directly from them which means it’s theme support that
   does not cater for a third party plugin. But yeah ok if you can not help here
   it is what it is..

 * I can’t help it either. You can upgrade to the latest version released yesterday
   and see if that helps anything.

 * Hi,
 * I found something that maybe helps to solve it. Are you using TinyMCE Advanced?
   This plugin seems to cause old file not being removed as it should be.
 * You can fix it by downloading TinyMCE Advanced configuation, go to the settings,
   see ‘default mce settings’, find custom_css and remove the offending file from
   there.

 * Hi,
 * No we do not use any plugin called TinyMCE advanced? But you want me to download
   it?

 * I have the same problem as alriksson with the latest version of the max button-
   plugin.
    Every time I want to edit a page (also pages without any buttons), this
   message appears:
 * “Failed to load content css:[http://<our](http://<our) homepage>/wp-content/plugins/
   maxbuttons/assets/libraries/font-awesome/css/font-awesom.min.css”
 * I use the standard WordPress-editor.

 * Hi,
 * Maybe reading this topic might help – [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-in-log-with-my-own-ip/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-in-log-with-my-own-ip/)?

 * Hi,
 * I don’t have TinyMCE Advanced or something like that.
 * I have now activated WPBakery, and when I use that editor, the same happens –
   the failure loading the font-awesome.min.css.

 * Same problem as OP. Check your file /assets/integrations/shortcake/shortcake.
   php. That is where your plugin is injecting the deleted font-awesome.min.css 
   into the visual editor styles.

 * Thank you very much.
 * I have remarked these lines in …./shortcake.php and it helped 👍:
 * // public static function editor_styles()
    // { // $fa_url = apply_filters(“mb_fa_url”,
   MB()->get_plugin_url() . ‘assets/libraries/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.
   css’); // if ($fa_url != false && $fa_url != ”) // { // add_editor_style($fa_url);//}//}
