Trouble with new Fontawesome 6 icons in theme components

[bloomexperiment (Tracey)]

split from We're upgrading our icons to Font Awesome 6! - #26 :

Thanks for letting me know. But I was referring to the names specifically:

@bloomexperiment

updated to use the new Font Awesome 6 names?

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:

Font Awesome

Martini Glass Citrus in FA6:

Martini Glass Citrus Classic Solid Icon | Font Awesome

Feel free to split this up into a separate topic if needed

I just got it to work using martini-glass-citrus and cocktail.

Here are my settings in the Category Icons Theme Component

martini-glass-citrus works fine for me as a tag icon

@Lilly @Moin thanks for letting me know – I will try it out. Maybe I had forgotten to add martini-glass-citrus in the bottom field as well.

you shouldn’t have to - see my settings screenshot. shut up Lilly, listen to Moin. see my comment below

Then it doesn’t work for me

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!
