Cheers Thanks for helping me troubleshoot . Will do.
Tried with Twenty Twenty and yes the issue persists. So not a Hestia issue I guess.

that was with the menu configured thus

I tried disabling Title attribute and nothing changed.
So for now I have gone back to placing the icon tag in the Title Attribute box like this https://postimg.cc/cgrmKK1b and if you check my site now, you will see it is displaying the icon correctly which is weird, but displaying the tag “fas fa-campground” understandably, when you mouse over it.
I am using Hestia them with Elementor Pro so perhaps Elementor caused it somehow.
