When I change the discourse reaction like button to torii-gate on Font Awesome. I lose the like button entirely… As you can see it is gone, but if I hover over where it is, It triggers. With a red box around where the icon should be. [Screenshot 2024-09-23 at 7.56.38 PM] If I change the Icon back to “thumbs-up” it displays properly I really want the Torri Gate as my reaction icon, because the point of this Discourse forum is for an offshoot of Shinto called Bunrai Shinto. Please help me. I am a simple shinto priest. And I have a feeling this a bug that is not getting fixed.

Ok here is a fix for a simple shinto priest :shinto_shrine: :slight_smile: Torii-gate reaction icon fix (or any fontawesome icon that doesn’t have a far version) Step 1: Add the replacement script to the js tab in the theme/ component code editor Go to Admin - Themes - Components, create a new theme or component, click the “Edit Code” button and go to the JS tab: [Screenshot 2025-08-27 at 7.01.23 PM] [Screenshot 2025-08-27 at 6.56.38 PM] insert the following line of code in the place where it says // Your code here api.replaceIcon("far-torii-gate", "torii-gate"); [Screenshot 2025-08-27 at 7.09.06 PM] Step 2: Add the emoji to the existing reaction set then change the other settings Go to the reactions plugin settings. This is the configuration you need to do, but it needs to be done in a certain order (from bottom to top): [Screenshot 2024-09-24 at 7.52.26 PM] First add the shinto_shrine to the discourse reactions enabled reactions setting, click the green check mark then refresh the browser page. Next, select the shinto_shrine emoji from the drop down for the discourse reactions reaction for like setting. Then add torii-gate to the discourse reactions like icon setting. Make sure you click the green checkmarks and refresh the browser. That should do it. Let me know if you need any more help. [Screenshot 2024-09-24 at 7.28.09 PM]

I think it’s because of this [image] How to use a custom SVG like icon in the Reactions plugin? Support I think the Reaction code adds a ‘far’ to things, which will make them go blank if there’s no far version: [Untitled] [Untitled2] I feel like it should work, but when I gave it a try, I could only get it to load the non-far versions so that it only showed for already liked posts. Also, the reaction emoji is called shinto_shrine so to get it into the reactions modal, you have to load the emoji in the reactions settings.

I think the problem is the same as in [image] Discourse Reactions does not support non-regular free icons(far- prefix is added to like icon) Bug I’m trying to add the free, solid, beer icon as my discourse reactions like icon: [image] Unfortunately the far- prefix is added to the “beer” text [image] and the regular icon is not included in the free tier: [image] so the icon does not load: [image] If this is intended, is there a workaround for this? There is only a solid torri gate.

It is a sad day for Burai Shinto.

Thank you for the detailed reply This poor Shinto priest Just tired to access the components panel and it asked me to upgrade I am so poor and the Kami basically kick my teeth in everyday Thanks for trying to help me. Hopefully when shinto takes over the united states I can afford a premium plan.

It’s not a bug. Not all icons are loaded.

I can’t find it right now on my phone, but if you search you can find how to include additional font awesome icons.
