FA Icons for Divi Builder Builder plugin
(formerly Font Icons for Divi Builder)
IMPORTANT NOTICE: The implementation and approach this plugin uses is being sunsetted by Font Awesome. You may still use the CDN approach for any of the domains you’ve set up, but Font Awesome will not be bringing new features to this service. Instead, try using Font Awesome Kits host and do even more with auto-accessibility, better performance, updates without touching code, and more!
This plugin does NOT support Font Awesome Kits!
Note: The plugin had to be renamed due to Font Awesome licensing reasons.

With the FA Icons for Divi Builder plugin you will be able to use Font Awesome – the iconic font and CSS toolkit – on your Divi Builder powered WordPress site. The plugin is compatible with the Divi Builder plugin, the Divi theme and the Extra theme. And it usually works with other themes as well.
No programming needed, just activate, check a box or two, and you are ready to go.
You can easily customize the look and feel of lists based on your needs without any CSS coding. Just look for the settings in the WordPress admin under Divi > Font Awesome or Extra > Font Awesome.
The plugin does not (yet) provide a UI for inserting icons into your content, also the icons will not show up in the icon list when, for example creating a blurb or a button. To see how you can use specific icons in your content, please refer to the Examples page of Font Awesome, and refer to the articles listed below.
Note: The plugin was specifically created for use with the Divi Builder plugin, or the themes Divi and Extra (from Elegant Themes). It might work with other themes as well, but not guaranteed. Using a child theme is highly recommended.
