Category: Change Log

I’ve added the FontAwesome icon set to my TwentyFourteen-Child WordPress theme. The icon set link was added to the the header section within header.php.

<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.2.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

Used the Rebel Alliance icon as a test to insure installation was successful.

While researching the proper method for adding header links into a WordPress theme, I found that some people are trimming the FontAwesome icon set down in order to decrease load times. Will have to research further and find out if this is a beneficial modification or an unnecessary tweak.

IE10 was displaying a scrollbar that appeared over the top of the site content. In order to fix this issue I added the following code to the style.css in the TwenetyFourteen theme under reset.

html {
-ms-overflow-style: scrollbar;
}
