What the author says it does

The official way to use Font Awesome Free or Pro icons on your WordPress site, brought to you by the Font Awesome team.

Features

Our official plugin makes it easy to add Font Awesome icons to your pages, posts, and templates and includes the following features:

  • Use Pro or Free icons, from the latest release or a specific release.
  • Use custom icons from your Pro Kits.
  • Use a Font Awesome Kit to add any of our icons (including the latest Duotone styles and custom icons!), or select the Font Awesome CDN for Version 5 icons only.
  • Turn on automatic compatibility for Font Awesome Version 4 if you – or your plugins – are still using Version 4 syntax.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues when multiple versions of Font Awesome are loading on your site from other plugins/themes, which can cause unexpected icon display or technical issues.

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.
