Our site suddenly stopped displaying icons. See the search in the top right, icons in the side nav, and post tool buttons.

> What’s Font Awesome? Discourse uses a free set of icons from [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/) throughout its interface. You see these on toolbars, badges, buttons, etc… here’s our composer toolbar: [image] Since 2018 we’ve been using Font Awesome 5 ([original announcement](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-font-awesome-5-and-svg-icons/101643)), and in the meantime Font Awesome 6 has been released. Version 6 includes new icons, some general style updates, and renames. As of today, Discourse will start using version 6 too! Specifically, [version 6.6.0](https://fontawesome.com/versions). This isn’t an enormous visual ch…
You may have to find the font awesome 6 equivalent of v 5 icons. For example `shield-alt` is now `shield-halved`

I assumed it would be related to that. I could understand some of the more niche icons that need to be updated manually, but I would hope the more generic ones (like pencil for edit, magnifying glass for search, etc.) are automatically updated by the platform.

They should be automatically remapped. I can see you’ve got the new icons. Not sure why the 🔍 icon isn’t there 🤔

Try a cache bypass reload?

Cache bypass didn’t work for me. Still missing icons.

Ah you’re using the Font Awesome Pro plugin, yes? I think we might need to update this for compatibility.

I’ve just pushed an update, but there are still a few lingering icons missing, specifically with the `fad` prefix for some reason… still investigating

@putty the icons have returned! this ended up being a two-for-one issue where we had to update the icon names in the FontAwesome Pro plugin, and also had to update the plugin for our tooling change from yarn to pnpm
If anyone else ends up encountering this issue, it should be remedied by updating Discourse (which will also pull in the plugin updates).
