What the author says it does

Add a Font Awesome icon field type to Advanced Custom Fields.

  • Specify which FontAwesome icon sets to use (Solid, Regular, Light, Thin, Duotone, Duotone Sharp, Brands, and Custom Upload Icons) (Some features only available with FontAwesome 5.x or 6.x icons)
  • Create your own custom filtered list of FontAwesome icons to use with your fields. Use different custom icon sets with different fields
  • Returns Icon Element, Icon Class, Icon Unicode, or an Object including the element, class, unicode value, and SVG data (if applicable)
  • Optionally enqueues Font Awesome in footer where needed (when a FontAwesome field is being used on the page))
  • Integrates with the FontAwesome GraphQL for loading your FontAwesome Kits, searching for icons, and loading the latest version of FontAwesome

Note: It is recommended to let this plugin enqueue the latest version of Font Awesome on your front-end; or include the latest version yourself using your FontAwesome Kit; so that available icons in the admin area will be displayed properly on your sites front-end.

Compatibility

This ACF field type is compatible with:

* ACF 5.7+

* FontAwesome 4.x, 5.x, 6.x and 7.x fonts

Where this page's numbers come from

Read from the WordPress.org plugin API on , when WordPress 7.1.4 was the current release. WordPress.org rounds active installs into buckets. These are the directory's figures, not my verdict, and I haven't tested this plugin.
