That changes colour, but not where the icon is visible. And it is not on topics and posts, where it is needed. Usercard is fine, but then user must know beforehand who is a moderator or admin, and now they don’t know.

Does [safe mode](https://meta.discourse.org/t/53504?silent=true) changes this behavior?

The post you quoted has the old SVG for the shield. The later post I quoted has the new name for shield. Not sure if using the old
“.d-icon.d-icon-shield-alt”
Instead of the new name below
“.d-icon.d-icon-shield-halved”
Maybe blank it off posts?
Disabling your custom component would show if it is the issue with removing the icon.
If you were trying out the later replace icon script. I’d the Wizard hat added to sbg icons in site settings?

I used halved one. But there was one or two bytes in wrong position, I guess. Because destroying old container and starting new one (I hope I’m using right terminology now… done using ./launcher) fixed this. I don’t totally understand why, but it happened 🤷♂️
Or kind of fixed.
I have the hat on usercard, and the shield on topics/posts now 😂

Debugging issues is always a lot of fun. 😉
