Simple Category Icons

A simple way to add icons to your categories and other taxonomies.

<p><a href="https://subtleblocks.com/icons" rel="nofollow ugc">Subtle Icons</a> is a lightweight plugin that brings thousands of icons directly into the WordPress block editor and Advanced Custom Fields (ACF).</p>
<p>Stop enqueuing heavy FontAwesome stylesheets. Subtle Icons generates clean, inline SVG code natively in the editor, keeping your frontend free of external scripts and font files.</p>
<h3>The Ultimate WordPress Icon Picker</h3>
<p>Powered by the massive <a href="https://icon-sets.iconify.design/" rel="nofollow ugc">Iconify</a> ecosystem, easily search and insert icons from dozens of popular open-source libraries without leaving the WordPress editor. Supported libraries include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Lucide Icons</li>
<li>Material Design Icons</li>
<li>Heroicons</li>
<li>FontAwesome</li>
<li>Bootstrap Icons</li>
<li>Phosphor Icons</li>
<li>…and dozens more, or upload your own custom SVGs!</li>
</ul>
<h3>Four Native Gutenberg Icon Blocks</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Icon Button Block:</strong> Prompt visitors to take action with a native-feeling button block supporting leading and trailing icons.</li>
<li><strong>Icon List Block:</strong> Create clean lists with icons that match your theme and improve scanability.</li>
<li><strong>Icon + Text Block:</strong> Pair an icon with text for notices, callouts, and feature highlights.</li>
<li><strong>Icon Block:</strong> A standalone SVG icon block with sizing, thickness, and color controls.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Integration</h3>
<p>Bring icons to your structured content. Subtle Icons adds a fully integrated Icon Picker field to ACF. Add icons to taxonomies, repeaters, options pages, and custom blocks seamlessly.</p>
<h3>Built for Developers & Custom Integrations</h3>
<p>Take full control of the icon workflow. Use our lightweight filters and actions to tailor the experience for your clients and custom builds.</p>
<ul>
<li>Filter or restrict available icon collections</li>
<li>Configure default block icons globally</li>
<li>Robust developer documentation and more extensibility coming soon!</li>
</ul>
<h3>Development</h3>

<p>Build requirements: Node.js and npm.</p>

<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin uses the <a href="https://iconify.design/" rel="nofollow ugc">Iconify</a> API to power the Icon Picker.
