I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong, but when editing the font awesome icons for some badges, they don’t show up. I am trying to add the fa-smile for the “First Emoji” and it’s blank/broken. Any ideas?

Try it without “fa-”
Not sure if that’s the answer, but that solved my problem when using Font Awesome icons in a theme.

Thanks for your response! I probably should have mentioned what I had already tried. 🤦🏾♀️
I already tried
“fas fa-smile”
“fa-smile”
“smile”
I was thinking maybe I need to just upload it and link to it, but wondered what could be the cause of it not showing the normal way.

Okay. Just had a play. There’s no Font Awesome icon called “fa-smile” which is probably why it’s appearing blank. There is an icon called “fa-smile-o” and that worked when I tested it. I also tested fa-paw and that worked too.
Here’s a link to the icon names: [Font Awesome Cheatsheet](https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/cheatsheet/)
Does it work for you now?

Thanks, worked like a charm. I’ll save that cheatsheet.
I was using a different cheatsheet and it was for this smile: [Face Smile Filled Icon (Classic Solid) — Free SVG Download | Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/icons/smile?style=solid)
