```plaintext
d, discord.gg/someLink, https://discord.gg/someLink, vdm, blank, keep

```

(Right position)

If I inspect the code, I can see `class="fa d-icon d-icon-discord svg-icon svg-node"` trying to show. **Favicon issue?**

**EDIT:** …can’t remember if this is native or an addon?

What you described in your post is the [Custom Header Links (icons)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/iconified-header-links/86307) theme component. So, yes it’s an addon.

When you add links with that component, you’d have to add them like so

`Title,Icon,URL,View,Target,View`

I think your issue is that you’re not including the icon name for that link. Can you please try changing this

`d, discord.gg/someLink, https://discord.gg/someLink, vdm, blank, keep`

to this

`d, fab-discord, discord.gg/someLink, https://discord.gg/someLink, vdm, blank, keep`

and see if that solves your issue?

Thanks - tried it, but alas, no dice. _However_, it seems like I’m not the only one from the bottom comments of that link:

Seems to be [a bug others experience.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/iconified-header-links/86307/87)

Answered over here:

> That settings screenshot looks like the [Custom Header Links - #84](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-header-links/90588/84) component, which is for showing text links not icons. I can see how the components are named in a confusing way: https://github.com/discourse/discourse-header-links - icon links (this topic) https://github.com/discourse/discourse-custom-header-links - text links ([Custom Header Links](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-header-links/90588/1)) Maybe you should add icon to this one’s name @Johani?
