Since Better Font Awesome is only compatible up to 6.7.5, I understand that this version incompatibility may be part of the issue. Hoping for a Better Font Awesome update soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I use the Heroic KB plugins and along with the KnowAll theme. The site makes heavy use of the HeroTheme messages, and I would like to nest FA icons inside those message blocks. Below is what the shortcode(s) would look like. I find that the Better Font Awesome shortcode is not rendered and the code is shown on the page within the message box instead of the icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>&#091;ht_message mstyle=\"info\" title=\"Already using Outlook?\" show_icon=\"true\" id=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" ]If you have Outlook already set up with another account, expand the Outlook menu in the upper-left corner of the screen, click Settings..., and then Accounts.
