  Hi,

  is there a way to use Dashicons in a Icon Box?

  When I use for example dashicons-book-alt the icon is not shown with the code

  [sf_iconbox image="dashicons-book-alt" type="boxed-one" color="accent" title="documentation" animation="fade-in" animation_delay="200"]Documentation[/sf_iconbox]

  Any idea how to get it working?

  Thanks

  Elias

  You cannot use that on the front-end as the CSS for the Dashicons is not registered there. To use the icons on the front-end you will need to activate your child theme and add these following to your child theme functions.php file.

  /********************************************************/
  // Adding Dashicons in WordPress Front-end
  /********************************************************/
  add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'sf_load_dashicons_front_end' );
  function sf_load_dashicons_front_end() {
    wp_enqueue_style( 'dashicons' );
  }
