Hi,
Does anyone know how to add font awesome to Genesis? (I don't think the specific child theme matters, but I have Lifestyle Pro).
Font awesome suggests putting <link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> into the <head> section of the site html, but I can't find where that is. Does anyone know where that is?
Otherwise, I also tried a method I found here, changing
'//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.min.css'
to
'//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css'but I don't think it worked. I tried to test it by adding
blockquote, blockquote::before { content: "\f10d"; }to my custom css to get the fa-quote-left icon when I do a blockquote, but it didn't work.
Thanks,
AnnabelHello, the best way is to use the wordpress wp_enqueue_scripts function. Add this code to your theme's functions.php file:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'youruniqueprefix_load_custom_scripts'); function youruniqueprefix_load_custom_scripts() { // Include Fontawesome stylesheet wp_enqueue_style( 'abte-fontawesome' , '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css' ); }There's a good chance you already have a function like this in your theme's functions.php file, so if you do then you can just include the wp_enqueue_style line within the existing function.

I could use some help ...
There is no code in my child theme's functions.php file calling for Font Awesome AND YET I can see this is in my <head>
<link rel='stylesheet' id='font-awesome-css' href='//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.1.0/css/font-awesome.css' type='text/css' media='screen' />How do find where this is being inserted into the <head> so I can either delete it OR edit it?
Thanks in advance,
MattIt can be added many ways, like through a plugin or another file. Without more info it's hard to say.
A couple of recommendations:
- check your admin Genesis settings. In your WordPress admin, go to "Genesis > Theme Settings" and look in the "Header and Footer Scripts field to see if the code has been added there
- If it's not there, you can try deactivating your plugins one at a time to see if any of them are adding it
- You can search your website files for "font-awesome-css" (the ID) to find which file is adding this.

Hey Tony ...
You know how you think you've checked everything but then someone says do it again?
Well BINGO! It was the "Scroll Back to Top" plugin!!!
I thought I had checked every plugin but must have either missed that one or didn't refresh after checking it.
Thanks WP Brother!
hehe, I know it all too well, Matt!
Glad you got it sorted out 🙂 Have a great one...
