Circle Icon Widget not bring in icon when use added domain

By Ramblin, 9 years ago. Last reply by Andrew Misplon, 9 years ago.

Explaining this may take longer than answering it, but here goes.

I am hosting a Vantage site using PageBuilder and the SiteOrigin Widgets bundle

All is working when I go to the site with the original domain: www.mgmt2go.com

I just pointed an alternative domain to the site: www.mgmt2go.ca

It all seemed to work:
– the mgmt2go.ca url got repointed to the directory holding the mgmt2go.com content
– the links worked
– …

However, the icons on the Circle Icon widget (used three times) on the home page did not come in. Instead of the icon in the middle of the circle, I get (cache flushed in each case):
– on ie v 10 : – a coloured circle with no icon or anything else in the middle
– Firefox v 36.04 : a coloured circle with a box in the middle with what looks like a hex number
( Reading from left to right: F0C0, F14E, F046)
– Chrome : works fine; icons show

Any ideas on how to get the icons to show in the Circle Icon Wiodget for ie 10 and Firefox?

    Hi Ramblin

    Unfortunately a problem we see quite often. The issue relates to the cross domain loading of assets. Here is David Walsh talking a little bit about the problem:

    http://davidwalsh.name/cdn-fonts

    If you’re using Chrome or Firefox (probably IE too), load this domain: http://www.mgmt2go.ca/, then open your Web Developer console. In Chrome you can right click anywhere and select “Inspect Element”. With Web Developer open, click the Console tab. There you’ll be able to view the actual console errors being outputted.

    David Walsh goes over a few possible fixes. You could perhaps give those a go and/or chat to your host to see if they can help with a fix.

    That did it, thank you

    I did not realize it was a font issue

    Per the link to David’s site, all I had to do was add to my .htaccess file

    # Apache config - allow mgmt2go.ca to fetch all fonts from mgmt2go.com
# This allows the Circle Icon widget (used in the home) page to properly display the icon in the middle
#   when the site is accessed via mgmt2go.com
<FilesMatch ".(eot|ttf|otf|woff)">
	Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
</FilesMatch>

    and all is good when I access the site using my alternate domain which is redirected to my main domain

    Thanks again,
    R
