Adding Font Awesome to your Divi website<\/a> is easy to do. In this tutorial, I will show you 3 ways to add Font Awesome to your site. The first method is the easiest and quickest way but the third method is better for your website loading times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 1: Adding Font Awesome With Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This method is very easy to do just install the Font Awesome Plugin<\/a>. After installing the plugin you can use shortcodes to insert icons. For example, to use the check icon you would need to use this shortcode:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[icon name=\"check\"]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can replace the icon name “check” with any other icon name. You can find all the icon names here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Method 2: Adding Font Awesome Manually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Go to the Font Awesome website<\/a> and click on “Start for free” Now you have to take a few steps to create a kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After you have created your kit you will get a little code snippet, something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<script src=\"https:\/\/kit.fontawesome.com\/????????.js\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
You can not use this one that will not work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now go to your site and navigate to Divi > Theme Options > Integration and add the code into Add code to the < head > of your blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 To add an icon to your Divi website head over to Font Awesome and choose an icon. Then copy the icon code and paste it for example into a text module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Font<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Method 3: Host Font Awesome Locally (Best method)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Using Font Awesome can slow down your website because it will load in an external script with all the icons. Even if you are only using 1 icon it will load in the entire library. It is better to host the icons locally on your hosting. You will only load in the icons you will be using + there will be no external script be loading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Go to Icomoon<\/a> and choose the Font Awesome library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Choose<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Choose the icons you want to use and click on generate Font.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Choosing<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
On the next screen you can just click on Download.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Unpack the download file. Inside you will find a folder named fonts. Inside this folder, there are 4 files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upload the fonts folder with the 4 files in your child theme folder. If you do not have a child theme yet then follow this tutorial<\/a> on how to create one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Upload<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now open the style.css file inside the icomoon folder and copy the CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paste the CSS in your child theme CSS file or in Divi > Theme Options > CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Change all the URL paths in the CSS to your font’s map location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Font<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Now you can use the icons on your Divi website. For example, I have a plus icon so I can place this inside a text module to show it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<i class=\"fa fa-plus\"><\/i><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Change the fa-plus with your icon. You can find that in the CSS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
