What It Does

This plugin enables users to add their own custom icons to the built-in Elementor icon controls and elements. This removes the reliance on FontAwesome and provides a better opportunity for branding with custom icon sets on your websites.

With this plugin, you can add unlimited icons to your website via Fontello font packs. You can view the icons in each uploaded pack and delete individual packs if desired. Use icons anywhere you would normally with the default Elementor icon selectors.

Please note that this plugin requires the Elementor Page Builder to be installed and active. The plugin relies on a third-party service for its functionality provided by Fontello. No private information is sent to their server; rather, their provided webfont downloads are used to add fonts to this plugin.

Removing this plugin will render your custom icons to be deleted. Take care to un-select them from your icon elements prior to plugin removal.
