Social media plugin and font awesome

Hi, I come back (again ;)) to find some clue about fontawesome.
I recently added two plugins : social-media-links and embed-fontawesome.
I installed the second one because at first I thought problems where coming from it.
Actually when displaying the bullets from socialmedia, I get a "?" and when digging into code, everything seems ok (cf. sshot) ?
does anyone have the social media plugin working ?
thanks in advance for any ideas.

@Francois, Plugin embed fontawesome tries to replace all fontawesome icons it finds in a page by injecting inline svg code into the html of the page.

The svg code for each icon must be provided in folder */user/data/fontawesome/**

When processing the page, if it doesn't find the proper .svg file below folder /user/data/fontawesome/*, it will (depending on the config) replace the current icon with inline svg code which shows a question mark. That's the svg code you showed above.

thanks for the solution @pamtbaau :🙂 Sometimes, simple things are much more better !
I guess embed font awesome is here for something, but in my case, it made it worse. Why fa-twitter / facebook or pinterest were not found... mystery.

@Francois,

That's not a mystery... My explanation above might not have been be clear enough though...

The plugin does not use icon definitions provided by the theme, but only looks for files in folder */user/data/fontawesome/** matching the name for the fontawesome class .

If you don't provide svg files in folder /user/data/fontawesome/ for each and every fontawesome icon you use, the plugin will inject the svg code for a question mark.

Ooooh I understand! It’ not a widget to improve or extend but to replace ! Sorry to be that slow brain 🫢🤣
