Pick from roughly 2,000 free Font Awesome 6 icons and drop them anywhere — no shortcodes, no page builder, no coding. Icons render as **inline SVG**, so your site never loads the Font Awesome webfont or an extra stylesheet just to show an icon. That keeps pages fast and the markup clean. #### Features * **~2,000 free Font Awesome 6 icons** — Solid, Regular, and Brands. * **Full-screen icon picker** with instant search (by name and keyword), a category sidebar with per-style counts, a style filter, and a “recently used” list. * **Inline SVG output** — no webfont, no render-blocking icon CSS. * **Styling controls** — color, hover color, size, and alignment. * **Link support** — wrap the icon in a link, optionally opening in a new tab. * **Accessibility** — mark an icon as decorative (hidden from screen readers) or give it a label; links always get an accessible name. * **Global defaults** — a Settings page to set the default style, size, and color, and to choose which icon styles appear in the picker. ## Screenshots [⌊The Icon block with the icon picker open.⌉⌊The Icon block with the icon picker open.⌉[ The Icon block with the icon picker open.

In the editor, add the **Font Awesome** block and click **Icon Library** to choose an icon. 4. (Optional) Visit **Icon Font Awesome Settings** to set global defaults. ## FAQ ### Does this load the Font Awesome webfont on my site? No. Icons are saved as inline SVG, so the front end loads no Font Awesome CSS or webfont files. ### Which icons are included? The free Font Awesome 6 set — Solid, Regular, and Brands (about 2,000 icons). ### I used an older version of this plugin. Will my existing icons still work? Yes. Blocks created with the previous version are migrated automatically when you open the post in the editor. Re-save the post to update its front-end markup. ### Where do I set default colors and sizes? Under **Icon Font Awesome Settings**, in the Block Defaults tab. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Block: Icons Font Awesome” is open source software.
