 * I’m not really sure if this is going to work for you. If it doesn’t, post your
   url so I can have a look at your html and css and determine which selectors are
   we gonna have to use.

 * Here is what you will do:
    For pocket, for example:
 *     ```
       .sd-social-icon .sd-content ul li[class*=share-].share-pocket > a:before{
        background: white;
       }
       .sd-social-icon .sd-content ul li[class*=share-].share-pocket a.sd-button{
       background: white;
       }
       ```
   
 * Two selectors are being used because the button consists of two parts. If this
   is not working for you, I’m leaving this post open so you can post here and I
   can help you. I’m being notified via email.

 * a media query probably sets it to `width: 100%` so I think it’s not going to 
   be a problem.
 * I tried to set `.sidebar` from 28.5% to 24% but what it does is only make the
   content inside be narrower and not the whole sidebar itself.

 * Sorry I probably confused you Andrew. `.fa-whatever:before{content=""; background
   =url("...")}` replaces the FA icon but since it has the .fa class, its styling
   is determined by the stylesheet located in rowling>fa>css which is why I cannot
   dequeue the stylesheet.

 * Nope Andrew. I did it in my child theme’s stylesheet.

 * The only way I can be helped is if some expert enter my parent theme’s functions.
   php and remove the codes to prevent enqueuing and registering of Font Awesome
   icons altogether. But that would be asking too much from that person. So, thank
   you again for your time and efforts. I’m grateful.

 * no. I do not wish to dequeue the stylesheet because the custom icons I’m using
   are implemented using `.fa fw fa-whatever:before{};`. So without the stylesheet
   the icons would be all out of place.

 * I have tried purging cache both on cloudflare and w3 total cache which means 
   the http requests still exist. I have just replaced the font awesome files with
   blank ones with the same file names and file extensions. So only around 0 bytes
   is being served and downloaded but the http requests take time. Thank you for
   your time and effort, actually can’t thank enough. 🙂
