I would very much like to help you with this issue and resolve it if we can. We’ve tested the plugin as thoroughly as we can in our test environments and haven’t come across the issue you report. Can you confirm whether you receive any error log reports from PHP?
Regarding the version number, it’s intended to follow the Font Awesome version number so that it’s easy to confirm which version of Font Awesome is supported.
Hi again,
I’ve spent the last 3 hours troubleshooting based on your feedback and I found that I can reproduce your problem by using PHP version 5.2 or earlier.
PHP 5.2 reached its end-of-life more than 3 years ago in January, 2011 (http://www.php.net/eol.php). If you’re still running version 5.2 it’s a good idea to upgrade to a newer version, as 5.2 is no longer receiving updates for security or other issues. Upgrading PHP can usually be accomplished using your web host’s control panel, or by contacting your host’s support.
This plugin requires PHP version 5.3 or newer. I will update the plugin’s description to reflect this requirement.
I’m sorry you had a negative experience with this plugin and I hope that this helps you resolve the issue.
I did a review about this plugin, explaining how to fix the issue and get FA running backend / frontend.
Please rerate your review saschaseven, this plugin is better then other 5-Star rated plugins, and I tried last, cause of the current rating.
