XF 2.3 HELP!!! My Forum Is Missing A LOT of icons!

[CrazyChef]

I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure this out. I've searched the forum, but didn't see an answer. There are numerous icons missing from my forum, yet the functionality is still there - just the icon image is missing. Any idea why this is happening? The style is UI.X2 / Shades of Grey, and XF2.3.4.

Instead of searching the forum, I searched Google. For some reason, that led me to the answer here on the XF forum.
If anyone else is experiencing this, here's the thread that fixed my version of the problem:

Fixed Thread 'Font Awesome icons not showing'

Mar 19, 2024

I installed XF 2.3 beta 1 and none of the font awesome images are showing. This is for both the front end and admin control panel.

Tried with no add-ons and default style.

The way FA icons are displayed changed earlier this year with 2.3 release.

Maybe check with your third party theme provider, for an updated version compat with 2.3.x and 2.4.x.

If you added node icons yourself in the extra.less template, then there is a format change. There were several posts covering it, on this forum.

example:

.node.node--id5 .node-icon i {
    &:before {
        .m-faContent(@fa-var-wrench, 1em);
    }

    svg {
        display: none;
    }
}
