Hello, I have all the latest versions including the FontAwesome plugin. How can I get the icons to display in the backend editor?
I have tried adding the URL to the fontawesome CSS, located in different folders etc.
I can add the icons using the dropdown, no problem, but nothing gets displayed, I need to switch to code view to see the code has been added.
Thanks
If you are using Joomla 5, go to Editor Profiles -> Plugin Parameters -> Font Awesome and set Font Awesome Version to 6
Save & Close.

Thanks that helped, I can now see the icons in the editor. A secondary question, how do I use the fa-brands fontawesome so I can use the linkedin, facebook etc icons?
Please try FontAwesome for JCE 1.1.7 Beta - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/plugins/development/editor-fontawesome-dev

Ryan,
Apologies, no luck, when I turn off the plugin the article loads, with it on I get the error. How can I send you logins?
Apologies, please try Beta 2 - https://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/downloads/plugins/development/editor-fontawesome-dev

Ok that now works and I can load the article, the dropdown does not show the social / brands icons?
Clear your browser cache.
