I am building a website and it seems the Font Awesome icons are not visible for some reason and I am not too sure why. There are 2 noticeable areas which are effected, the first is on the Home Page, the Previous and Next arrows on the SiteOrigin Layout Slider are not visible. The second issue is on the Contact Page where the social media icons are not appearing in the squares. I have tried to identify what is causing this glitch, but I haven’t been able to fix it so far. Any help that could be offered would be really appreciated, thanks in advance.

Hi Adam,
This issue is caused by your child theme. The following CSS is overriding the icon font (and thus causing the boxes):
* {font-family: 'Raleway', sans-serif !important;}To prevent this issue you’ll need to either adjust the above CSS (so it’s not so vague and forceful) or manually enforce the CSS for icons. The former would be preferred as you’ll need to continue adjusting the CSS otherwise.
For the latter (which I cannot recommend), please add the following CSS:
.sow-slider-base [class^="sow-sld-icon-"], .sow-slider-base [class*=" sow-sld-icon-"] { font-family: 'so-slider-pointers' !important; } .sow-icon-fontawesome { font-family: 'sow-fontawesome' !important; }That did the trick, thank you so much.
