Responsive Developer, Awesome Plugin!

By Seb Fontan (sebfontan) on March 7, 2022

The developer is responsive and the plugin works like a charm. This is by far the most straightforward Font Awesome plugin for WordPress.

Really Helpful Plugin, thanks a lot. Please keep it updated

By vast1r on November 21, 2021

Exactly it's what i wanted, Font awesome icon locally loaded. Please keep it updated. I don't know why 10k active people but very less review. Really great work guys, keep it up. 👍👍

Awesome up-to-date plugin

By Yongjun Jung (keyos27) on January 23, 2021

Works great (especially, if you know how HTML and CSS) and it is constantly updated to be compatible with the latest WordPress.

Perfect

It does what it promises. 🙂

Easy to use and GDPR compatible

By SVTX (svtx) on July 22, 2018

This even works with the default tags i.e. <i class="fas fa-stroopwafel fa-lg"></i> and it loads the fontawesome icons locally, from your own server. That's what you want because CDN's require data processing agreements and stuff like that. This is way easier, lightweight and simple. Edit: Hmm, doesn't seem to work on all my sites.. o.O

I love this plugin!
