Users are troubleshooting issues with using Font Awesome 6 icon names (e.g., martini-glass-citrus) in Discourse theme components, which previously relied on FA5 names like cocktail. bloomexperiment initially reported that FA6 names didn’t work, but Lilly and Moin confirmed that martini-glass-citrus works for both category and tag icons. After some confusion, Lilly clarified that the icon name must be explicitly entered in the bottom svg-icon field — a step bloomexperiment confirmed resolved the issue. The key takeaway: FA6 icon names are supported, but require manual entry in the theme component’s settings, not automatic mapping from FA5 names.

Thanks for letting me know. But I was referring to the names specifically:
I’ve been using the theme components and they still use the FA5 names. I tried using FA6 names and it doesn’t work.
E.g. cocktail is a FA5 icon name. When i tried to use the FA6 name martini-glass-citrus it doesn’t work.
Cocktail in FA5:
Martini Glass Citrus in FA6:

you shouldn’t have to - see my settings screenshot. shut up Lilly, listen to Moin. see my comment below 
ok now that is interesting. I wonder why? 
edit: because it is supposed to…
I was thinking about going to bed finally but now I am installing tag-icons for the very first time 
edit: I got it to work in the Tag Icons theme component
And yes, you do need to put the icon name in the bottom svg-icon setting - @Moin is correct. In my earlier post, having cocktail there meant it was automatically mapping to martini-glass-citrus.
Ok it works for me when i add martini-glass-citrus to the bottom setting. Thank you very much to you both!
