Icon font manager

[luizbills]

Ability to add your own icon fonts. Just uploding a zip with the font files, the css file and a conf file with the list of icon classes (maybe a json). And to remove the default font awesome (if the user wants).

[About2git]

Yeah, this would be great. We could use: http://fontello.com/ Where you even can upload own icons and json and co. is automatically generated…

[badcat]

Yes! Would love to have the ability to make a call to any of the existing Font Awesome library icons from within the Social Icon section.

Could be useful if we can simply insert an icon also in the standard Text Editor Widget as a span element.

IcoMoon is one of the bigger generators out there, and creates very customisable and clean CSS / SCSS as well. The CSS follows a very similar convention to FontAwesome too. Would be great to support that.

I like @badcat 's idea too, about choosing whatever icon you please in the Social Icon section, to take care of niche services like Slack or Discord.

@luizbills that's a good point about removing FA if it's not desired, no point in loading that library if you aren't using it at all :)

[pingram3541]

Yes please, it would so nice to allow for font-awesome icons in the social element so we can choose generic icons to link to services not listed?

[ryanlabelle]

We are working on a custom control for now but it would be very helpful to provide a hook like #1260 but also a way to include a whole font library.

Thank you. So far working with Elementor has been an awesome experience.

So far working with Elementor has been an awesome experience.

I second this :) My entire WP workflow has changed (for the better) thanks to this plugin 💪

[maxnaud]

I second to that, other Page Builders have the feature to at least choose a custom file as icon. Thanks!

[nickdgreen]

when choosing an icon it would be great to be able to have the option of adding the "fa fa-code" of a font awesome icon giving access to any new icons not currently included in the dropdown list.

[drawcard]

That is a top notch idea, though probably something that only coders would understand. ~~~Still it could be toggled on or off as "advanced features" in the settings page.~~~

Perhaps another idea is to simply have a checkbox toggle that hides the standard FA icon set, and then that activates the custom icon class refs option. Effectively replacing the icon with a blank "placeholder" that you could substitute with say, "material-icon-flag" etc. while getting all the icon customisation goodness in Elementor.

[albionselimaj]

While probably not the best approach, a workaround to adding custom icons would be to override the Elementor Icon control class with a custom class, and adding the extra icons in the 'get_icons()' method.
See example.

@albionselimaj thanks for sharing!!
I am usually try to not to edit PLUGIN file, Is there any suggestion without touching wp-content/plugins , because If I remember correctly they will gone with every update

thanks

[ianstudio]

Pleeeeeaaaaase this is important.. btw the new https://visualcomposer.io/ has a decent Icon tool with several icon fonts, though they do not let you upload your own.. But still much better than "ours" :/ You cannot let the competition get the better of Elementor :0)

@GreenRidingHood you don't have to touch the wp-content/plugins directory, just put that code in your theme. It overrides the default Icon class through the elementor/controls/controls_registered action.

[GreenRidingHood]

@albionselimaj I will try , thanks 👍

My work is going all in on Elementor, this would be a killer feature.

[Kpudlo]

Really hoping to see this make it in Elementor!

[shilo-ey]

This feature has been added to Elementor Pro v2.6.0
