Ginormous icons after upgrade today

I know there was a fontawesome upgrade - anything I need to look for or change to fix this problem? I see all fontawesome icons as huge. Starting to troubleshoot now but I’d be grateful for any advice. @angus let me know if you’re awake over there and have any suggestions.

Update also happens in safe mode.

The issue persists in safe mode, so it is almost certainly something that a plugin has introduced in an unusual way. Can you share a list of installed plugins - we’re not seeing this on any of our hosted sites.

thanks for the response. here’s my list from app.yml. the commented out lines are plugins I’ve tried in the past but removed again.

It looks like it’s working again now - did you find the issue?

On an unrelated note, you can remove discourse-chronos - it is now part of core.

I didn’t do anything yet… and haven’t myself seen it working again so you are one up on me. I am now doing a rebuild via ssh thinking maybe that will help. last time did it via the UI.

It was worth reading this topic only to get cool ideas for plugins :wink:

It was looking like this to me:

Of course it’s offline now due to the rebuild :wink: Let us know how it goes once the rebuild is done.

nice! that’s how it’s supposed to look. I love it when problems resolve themselves. the internet wins again.

edit: your screenshot shows some broken icons in my custom nav across the top. interesting. hope that also fixes itself.

Also, the above is no longer active, it is now an official discourse plugin at

oh, man - I feel like I’m hanging my laundry out for everyone to see.

Seriously though… thanks for alerting me to these plugins to disable. You guys rock. :rocket:

It’s back online for me now, but it does look like the header is broken. Unfortunately the method we use for FontAwesome5 does not allow use of the CSS :before/:after. You will need to update the custom header according to the instructions @pmusaraj wrote here. If you have any issues I’m sure we can help you out

I had this problem on one of my sites that had no (not bundled) plugins.

To fix the issue I personally had to delete all website data locally.

well, in my case it looks like the problem went away on its own after about 25 minutes. mysteries abound.

@tobiaseigen did rebuilding fix your issue? I’m seeing the same thing on my site. Currently rebuilding but if not, I may need to disable some plugins I guess. I took out the checklist plugin we were using already before the rebuild

seems fixed now, rebuild and disabling checklist seems to have done it for me.

I don’t think that was the point of the topic linked, if I recall correctly, it was a caching issue and had nothing to do with the checklist plugin…

No you’re right, I mentioned that because it was said that checklisting didn’t need a plug-in anymore

Ah, there is a slight disconnect there, the plugin is still needed, it just moved to a official plugin. So instead of my repo, the repo now exists with discourse. So you still need it in your app.yml if you use it.

Whoa. Glad you said that. I had removed it from mine. Thanks!
