<p><strong>FA WP Admin Menu Icons</strong> allows you to use Font Awesome icons for WordPress custom post types and custom menu pages by passing the Font Awesome class string, just like using Font Awesome on the front end</p>
<p>Here’s an example:</p>

    //...
    'menu_icon' => 'fa-solid fa-thumbs-up',
    //...
] );
</code></pre>
