Usage

Material Design Icons can be used in 3 different ways: shortcode, HTML, and TinyMCE

1. Shortcode

[mdi-icon name="material-ul" size="2x" color="red"]

You can also use hex values for color:
[mdi-icon name=”material-ul” size=”2x” color=”#000000″]

You can read more about shortcode usage on Github

2. TinyMCE

Material Design Icons also provides you with a pop-up window when editing in TinyMCE’s visual mode. Check out our Screenshots to see what it looks like.

3. HTML

Note that prefixes are required for HTML usage. For this reason, shortcode usage is encouraged over HTML. A HTML version would look like:

To use any of the Material Design icons on your WordPress site you have two options:

HTML

Examples

Bell icon

<i class="mdi mdi-bell"></i>

Shortcode

Don’t want to worry about HTML tags? You can use a shortcode in your posts, pages and even widgets to display a Material Design icon.

The shortcode to use is [mdi-icon name=X], where name=X is the class of the icon you would like to use.

Examples

Amazon icon

[mdi-icon name="amazon"]

Since v0.0.3 you can now add size and color.

[mdi-icon name="amazon" color="red" size="2x"]

Hex values will work for the color option and the include size values are: lg, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x
