Arrows showing as rectangles?

HBarden — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 14:48:52 GMT

Hi,

On my theme, the down arrows in my header and on my hero modules are showing as rectangles.

Anyone have any idea how I can fix this please? Link to website is https://ame-3d.co.uk/

@HBarden - I spent a few hours recently trying to update a fontawsome reference in theme code, only to realize the changes caused an issue similar to your description (rendering of the down caret). In the end I backtracked because I could not duplicate the same effect with the new font integration. Unsolved!

Hi! seems like your <script> tag for Font Awesome is outputting a "Forbidden" error, it likely means that your access to the Font Awesome CDN has been blocked, possibly due to:

A restriction on the provided kit.fontawesome.com URL.
An issue with the kit's unique ID (f4952dc142 in your case).
Incorrect permissions or expired kit settings for your Font Awesome account

SOLUTION:

Settings > Tools > Content > Pages > click templates tab
In the Head HTML code area add the following:
<link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/6.5.0/css/all.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
*If it doesnt work make sure there isnt a Default setting set for the domain

If my post helped answer your query, please consider marking it as a solution.
