Add Font Awesome 4 icons to your WordPress menus and site without touching a single line of code! With this plugin, just add fa-(icon name) as a class/classes to your menu and the plugin will pull that out, put the icon before or after your link text, and wrap your link text in a span so you can show or hide it as you see fit.
In Font Awesome 4 Menus, we have added the ability to add multiple Font Awesome classes for multiple effects (eg, fa-home fa-fw fa-2x will add a fixed-width home icon at two times the normal size).
In addition, we have given you shortcodes to add icons to your posts and pages, as well as shortcodes to take advantage of the new stacked feature of Font Awesome 4.

Seriously… 
Seriously – we’re not supporting this anymore. If you’re starting fresh, use our new plugin (above). If you’re upgrading, make sure you make note of the differences between the old i class codes and the new ones. Any issues that were found in this plugin have been addressed in the new version, and we’ve added a ton of new functionality too!

Back to the old plugin notes…
Add Font Awesome icons to your WordPress menus without touching a single line of code! With this plugin, just add icon-(icon name) as a class to your menu and the plugin will put that icon into your menu before the text!
With Font Awesome Menus, you have access to the old Font Awesome 3.2 library throughout your site. With the included shortcode, you can also add icons to pages, posts, custom post types, widgets – anywhere you want them!
In your menus…
Want to add a home icon to the “home” link on your menu? Just add:
<pre><code>icon-home
</code></pre>
as a class in your menu and the icon will be inserted before the text.
In your posts/pages
Want that home icon to show up in a post or page or custom post type? Use the shortcode:
<pre><code>[icon name=icon-home]
</code></pre>
and voila!
In your theme
Because Font Awesome is available throughout your site, use it in other parts of your theme too! Want that home icon hardcoded into your footer? Here you go:
<pre><code>
</code></pre>
It’s all there, baby
You can also use any and all of the code options and styles on the Font Awesome website. See more examples at <a href="http://fontawesome.io/examples/" rel="nofollow ugc">http://fontawesome.io/examples/</a>
