 * When I put the shortcode in and display the portfolio as part of my page, it 
   breaks all the icons on my page – they no longer align properly, they take up
   weird space, they change color and they flip horizontally. I would love to use
   the plugin because it’s pretty robust and very customizable for a free plugin,
   but this is a problem that would need to be sorted out before I could use it.
   This affects any Font Awesome icon I use. I can send a link to the issue in private
   messages, but due to non-disclosure, I cannot send it here.

 * I noticed that shortly after I wrote my post. As a workaround, I set SVGs to 
   specific heights and widths with CSS, but it is absolutely not ideal.

 * yes, that works. In my case I need to make a lot of adjustments as I have some
   text, icons and buttons aligned middle in a line so everything falls a part as
   soon as I adjust it’s width or height.
 * One workaround would be to use SVGs from the get go, but would be great to solve
   this problem

 * Hey [@mitch3ll](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mitch3ll/) [@blueberry86](https://wordpress.org/support/users/blueberry86/)
 * You can disable FontAwesome icons used in our plugin. We use SVG implementation,
   that may conflict with other plugins and themes, that still use the old method.
 * This FAQ should help – [https://visualportfolio.co/documentation/faq/](https://visualportfolio.co/documentation/faq/)

 * This worked for me, as well. Not sure why Google searches didn’t yield this result,
   but all the same, it fixed the issue. Thanks, [@nko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nko/)!
