icons in widgets

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

Hi,

I am trying to get a nice looking contact info widget going.

Initially I tried the suggestion in here: https://siteorigin.com/thread/problem-with-header/

However the icons are blank – i have added the CSS exactly as show. Is fontawesome pack still included in vantage?

Then I tried installing four different contact info plugins, aeroleads contact us details, personal contact info widget, rich contact widget, simple contact info.
All of these work in WPs widget area, but have a blank screen or just titles with the right attributes sidebar in pagebuilder.

The jetpack contact info works but looks ugly.

I’d rather not install a plugin if its something that I can just do in visual editor as per first thing I tried.

Any ideas please?

    Hi Malissa

    Thanks for reaching out.

    Some plugins unfortunately aren’t yet compatible with Page Builder. There isn’t much plugin authors need to do to ensure compatibility but the work does usually need to come from their side.

    If your contact form plugin creates a shortcode then adding that shortcode to a Text or Visual Editor usually resolves any problems. This can be done for example with Contact Form 7 and Gravity Forms (premium).

    Hope that helps a little to explain things.

    Font Awesome is included with Vantage. The syntax though has changed from the thread you posted above. Now it would look like this:

    HTML:

    <span>Professional Suppliers to the Shipping Industry</span>

<i class="fa fa-phone"></i> +27 (0)21 511 7550 <i class="fa fa-envelope-o"></i> <a href="/contact-us">[email protected]</a>

    CSS:

    /* Header */
header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar {
	color: #404040;
	font-size: 14px;
	line-height: 25px;
	text-align: center;
}

header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar span {
	font-style: normal;
	font-weight: bold;
}

header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar a {
	color: #404040;
	text-decoration: none;
}

header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar a:hover {
	text-decoration: underline;
}

header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar .fa-phone, header#masthead .hgroup #header-sidebar .fa-envelope-o {
	font-style: normal;
	font-weight: normal;
}

.fa-phone:before {
	color: #262626;
	content: "\f095";
}

.fa-envelope-o:before {
	color: #262626;
	content: "\f0e0";
	margin-left: 10px;
}
