Fontawesome problems

I have problems with fontawesome icons. Instead of icons I have blank squares.
Early I didn’t have this problem. I move my site to CloudFlare and there was a lot of plugin updates.
I have already tried to turn off CloudFlare and all of plugins – no result. I can’t see icons in SiteOrigin widgets bundle and Woocommerce icons either.

    Hi Ruslan

    Font Awesome is an icon font. Icon fonts are unfortunately vulnerable to cross-domain loading and CDN’s. If you’re a bit technical you could check out an .htaccess fix suggested by David Walsh: http://davidwalsh.name/cdn-fonts.

    Thank you!
    Yes, I also found this solution and have tried it. No result :(
    I think it’s connected with different fontawesome declarations in many plugins. Because Genericons and Typicons displaying without problems.

    Mmm that’s interesting. Perhaps try the Features widget in our Widget Bundle: https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/ to replace the Circle Icon widget. And for menu icons, if required, try this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/menu-icons/

    I’am already using Widget Bundle. Also I have some icons in my buttons on front-page.
    I’ll be seeking for solution.

    As you originally mentioned, the problem started. Is it possible that it continued after turning Cloudflare off due to caching?

    I unfortunately don’t know of any other fixes other than those outlined by David Walsh in the link I sent through.

    Hmm, it is interesting.
    My solution to fix it became changing font-family: ‘sow-fontawesome’ to font-family: ‘fontawesome’ in
    ..wp-content/plugins/so-widgets-bundle/icons/fontawesome/style.css
    And it works fine.
