Font Awesome on Menu and Sub Menus

[djbaxter]

I have some custom links in the main navigation bar, e.g.,

• Forum Rules - links to a sticky post
• New Posts - /whats-new/posts/
• Recent Posts - /whats-new/posts/?skip=true

I haven't been able to figure how to add the CSS in extra.less to add FA icons to these.

Any suggestions?

Update: The examples at the bottom of https://xenforo.com/community/threads/font-awesome-on-menu-and-sub-menus.140211/post-1307309 work.

@djbaxter Take a look here (https://xenforo.com/community/resources/font-awesome-icons-in-navbar-for-2-1.6817/), this is more cleaner with the LESS syntax.

Yes. The examples at the bottom of https://xenforo.com/community/threads/font-awesome-on-menu-and-sub-menus.140211/post-1307309 work.

I may try your suggestion later but for now I don't need FA for submenus, only for main navbar.

How can I replace the FontAwesome node icons with an image for both read and unread forums?

See post by Chris D at https://xenforo.com/community/threads/replace-fa-node-icon-with-an-image.135695/post-1183162

Add to extra.less template:

/* change forum nodes from FA to icons Chris D */
.node-icon i { display: none; }
.node-icon { background-image: url('styles/default/xenforo/xenforo-favicon.png'); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center; }
.node--read .node-icon { opacity: 0.5; }

Replace styles/default/xenforo/xenforo-favicon.png with an icon of your choice. You can find many free ones at

I found it works best at sizes from 32x32 to 50x50.
