<p><strong>Do you find this plugin helpful? Please consider <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/better-font-awesome" rel="ugc">leaving a 5-star review</a>.</strong></p>
<p>Better Font Awesome allows you to automatically integrate the latest available version of <a href="http://fontawesome.io/" rel="nofollow ugc">Font Awesome</a> into your WordPress project, along with accompanying CSS, shortcodes, and TinyMCE icon shortcode generator.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Always up-to-date</strong> – automatically fetches the most recent available version of Font Awesome, meaning you no longer need to manually update the version included in your theme/plugin.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Backwards compatible</strong> – shortcode output is automatically updated depending on which version of Font Awesome you choose, meaning that you can switch versions without having to modify your shortcodes.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Compatible with other plugins</strong> – designed to work with shortcodes generated with plugins like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome/" title="Font Awesome Icons" rel="ugc">Font Awesome Icons</a>, <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome-more-icons/" title="Font Awesome More Icons" rel="ugc">Font Awesome More Icons</a>, and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/font-awesome-shortcodes/" rel="ugc">Font Awesome Shortcodes</a>, so you can switch to Better Font Awesome and your existing shortcodes will still work.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>CDN speeds</strong> – Font Awesome CSS is pulled from the super-fast and reliable <a href="http://www.jsdelivr.com/#!fontawesome" rel="nofollow ugc">jsDelivr CDN</a>.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Shortcode generator</strong> – includes an easy-to-use TinyMCE dropdown shortcode generator.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>Settings</h4>
<p>All settings can be adjusted via <strong>Settings → Better Font Awesome</strong>.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Better Font Awesome can be used in 3 different ways: shortcode, HTML, and TinyMCE</p>
<h4>1. Shortcode</h4>
<pre><code>[icon name="flag" class="2x spin border" unprefixed_class="my-custom-class"]
</code></pre>
<p>Note that prefixes (<code>fa-</code> and <code>icon-</code>) are not required, but if you do include them things will still work just fine! Better Font Awesome is smart enough to know what version of Font Awesome you’re using and correct of the appropriate prefix.</p>
<p>That means that all of the following shortcodes will work, regardless of what version of Font Awesome you choose:<br />
    [icon name=”flag” class=”2x spin border”]<br />
    [icon name=”icon-flag” class=”icon-2x icon-spin icon-border”]<br />
    [icon name=”fa-flag” class=”fa-2x fa-spin fa-border”]<br />
    [icon name=”icon-flag” class=”fa-2x spin icon-border”]</p>
<p>You can read more about shortcode usage on <a href="https://github.com/MickeyKay/better-font-awesome-library#shortcode" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a></p>
<h4>2. TinyMCE</h4>
<p>Better Font Awesome also provides you with an easy-to-use drop down menu when editing in TinyMCE’s visual mode. Check out our <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-font-awesome/screenshots/" title="Screenshots" rel="ugc">Screenshots</a> to see what it looks like.</p>
<h4>3. HTML</h4>
<p>Note that prefixes are required for HTML usage, and are version-specific. For this reason, shortcode usage is encouraged over HTML. If you do want to use HTML, however, you can read more on the <a href="http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/examples/" rel="nofollow ugc">Font Awesome site</a>.</p>
<h4>Advanced / Integration</h4>
<p>Better Font Awesome is built around the <a href="https://github.com/MickeyKay/better-font-awesome-library" rel="nofollow ugc">Better Font Awesome Library</a>. This library allows you to integrate Better Font Awesome into any custom project you want to create (perhaps a theme or plugin with a constantly up-to-date icon list), and includes all the <a href="https://github.com/MickeyKay/better-font-awesome-library#filters" rel="nofollow ugc">filters</a> you might need.</p>

Better Font Awesome

1. It is not really compatible with font-awesome official plugin. I have this shortcode [icon name="fort-awesome" prefix="fab"] but not rendered correctly in this plugin.

2. There is only one version available while the screenshot showing version select box which make me understand that there are multiple versions to use. It is okay to use latest but just update screenshot please.

3. FAQ said there is checkbox Remove existing Font Awesome styles but there is not. The only remove I see is Attempt to remove Font Awesome CSS and shortcodes added by other plugins and themes which is very unclear that it will be mess up my post data or not.

4. They use only CDN, no local file option available. If I have to install a site in local network without internet access then this will be dead end. To be fair, this choice is not negative or positive but just my comment.

5. This plugin leave junk in my DB. The option name better-font-awesome_options still exists after uninstalled. The WordPress document is recommended to clean up the data on uninstall. Read more at Plugin Handbook / Plugin Basics / Uninstall Methods

Not compatible and SS/FAQ outdated

The Better Font Awesome plugin for WordPress. Shortcodes, HTML, TinyMCE, various Font Awesome versions, backwards compatibility, CDN speeds, and more.
