Hello,
great component, thank you so much for it. I implemented it and it works on any category for me - [except one](https://forum.gdngs.de/c/grillen/andere-grillseiten/23)… I put in the correct slug, partial and exact. No icon. Hm.
Any idea?
Regards,
Roi

I think there are some bugs with matching. I have a category `commblog`, and I could not assign an icon to a `commblog-review` category. I ended up working around it by calling it `community-blog-review` instead. (The `match` / `partial` config didn’t seem to help, but maybe I was doing that wrong.)
Honestly, ideally, instead of the kind of klunky table-based config, it’d be really nice if this could be set on the actual config page for each category. I understand that’s probably not possible (or at least, not easy!) with a theme component, though.

That is indeed not possible with a theme component. However, it’s in our plans to add icon support to tags and categories in core in the near future, quite possibly some time in 2023.

That’s excellent — I’m looking forward to it. Hopefully this will also resolve my long-standing sadness about category color configuration, too. 🙂

I did some renaming here but I was not able to get an icon for [this one category](https://forum.gdngs.de/c/grillen/grillseiten-im-web/23).
It is not really an important issue, but it is strange. And I ran out of ideas here. 😉
