Is there a way to replace the existing search icon with another? I’d like to replace it with a very similar, but slightly different, icon that matches my wordpress site. The new icon would be an SVG generated with the following code: <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="512" height="512…

Through the UI you don’t need to edit the about.json file, just do this: [image] Replace Discourse's default SVG icons with custom icons in a theme If you are uploading the SVG sprite through the Discourse UI, make sure you use “icons-sprite” as the SCSS var name for the upload.

This maybe a basic question, but how do I update the about.json via the Discourse UI? Thanks
