How can we add more fontello icons in a child theme?

Could you please provide us with the detailed step by step right way to do it?

Thank you for your support,

Regards,

Matt

It’s very easy. If you open the Icon element in page builder, below the icons you will see this:

Choose an icon. To add your own set of icons go to Fontello.com, download your custom font and unzip it in “ish-plugins/ishyoboy-shortcodes/fontello/” folder inside the child theme root.

So basically the steps are the following:

1. Use the starter child theme we provided (or use custom one) and activate it.
2. Go to Fontello.com
3. Select the icons you want to use
4. Click on the red button in the right top corner saying “Download webfont”
5. Create the following folder structure inside your child theme “ish-plugins/ishyoboy-shortcodes/fontello/”
6. Unzip its contents of the downloaded zip file inside this folder.
7. All done, have fun! :)

Please let us know if everything works as expected.

Wasn’t I supposed to extract the content in the Plugin folder instead of the Child Theme ?

This is very strange as we have it like this and all works like charm. The content is supposed to be put in the child theme in order not to overwrite it when you update the plugin with newer version.

Is config.json from the fontello font directly in the “ish-plugins/ishyoboy-shortcodes/fontello/” folder?

Seems like there have been some changes in how the fontello config file is generated. For anyone else having the same problem please open the file:

wp-content\plugins\ishyoboy-boldial-assets\ishyoboy-shortcodes\ishyoboy-shortcodes.php

and search for “ish-user-fontello”. There should be a block of code in two places (lines around 104 and 105, and also around 136 and 137). Please change both blocks of code from:

to:

So we just added one line before the wp_register_style:

if ( empty( $user_font['json']->name ) ) {$user_font['json']->name = 'fontello'; }

This change will be part of the next update.

I am also trying to add Fontello Icons to my Boldial Child Theme, but I get blank icons in the ‘Icon Settings’ panel.

Path to icons : “ish-plugins/ishyoboy-shortcodes/fontello/”
Files : config.json, css folder, font folder

Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

I cleared the Browser’s cache before I posted. I have tried another Browser, but just get the same result. When you roll-over the spaces, the icon Description comes up, but selecting an icon just gives a blank space on the Page where the icon should be.

I suspect it is something I am not doing correctly, but don’t know what.

Thanks.

Please provide answers to ALL these questions so we can identify the bug.

1. Does the icon show in the front end?
2. If you edit the page in a different browser do you see the icons?
3. Are the icons regular Fontello ones or custom uploaded ones?
4. Did you change the name of the font before downloading it?
5. Any chance you could provide a link to the zip file you downloaded from Fontello?
