Here are described some technical tricks, which help to use framework features in better ways.

Icon Trics

Editing font icons

Font icons can be added using Shortcode interface (Insert shortcode).Shortcodes that provide the font icon option include Icon picker element. Using this option you can preview and select required icon.

Font icon script is added to the child-theme that is why their version is not getting updated. The only exception is iconic FontAwesome – it can be updated together with the Cherry Shortcodes plugin.

You can also add external icons from Flaticon packages following the steps below:

  1. download font source code with the icons and upload them to the "wp-content/themes/themeXXXXX/assets/fonts" folder on your server.

  2. add the following code to the "wp-content/themes/themeXXXXX/functions.php" file:

    add_filter( ‘cherry_custom_font_icons’, ‘themeXXXXX_custom_font_icons’ );
    function themeXXXXX_custom_font_icons($icons) {
    		$icons[‘themeXXXXX_material_icon’] = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/assets/fonts/';
    		return $icons;
    }
