Icons work for all but one category

Icons Not Working for Specific Categories

Roi and mattdm are experiencing issues with icons not displaying for specific categories. Despite correct slug, partial, and exact configurations, some categories remain icon-less. mattdm suspects bugs with matching and had to work around it by renaming a category. pmusaraj mentions that icon support for tags and categories is planned for core implementation in 2023. Roi continues to struggle with one category in particular, despite attempting renaming and different configurations.

Hello,

great component, thank you so much for it. I implemented it and it works on any category for me - except one… 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. :slight_smile:

I did some renaming here but I was not able to get an icon for this one category.

It is not really an important issue, but it is strange. And I ran out of ideas here. :wink:
