User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the Font Awesome plugin for its ability to easily integrate Font Awesome icons into WordPress sites without requiring custom code, offering a quick and convenient solution for no-code users. The plugin supports both SVG and font options, works well with block editors, and generally speeds up icon loading times. However, users report several drawbacks, including a lack of intuitive usage, issues with icons not displaying, plugin conflicts causing site downtime, vague documentation, and poor customer support. Many find the implementation with Gutenberg to be cumbersome and cite bugs and compatibility issues, particularly with backward compatibility and Pro features. Despite its benefits, there's a strong need for improvement in user experience and support.

Their service wasn’t working correctly and registering page views against my quota on a site that wasn’t using fontawesome. When I asked for support, they weren’t helpful, then stopped responding, communicated like children, then DELETED my entire account causing me hours of update time for several client sites. I will NEVER use again.

In a world where you are working in the block editor or the FSE environment this plugin is just too mediocre to be acceptable. You insert Font Awesome icons through the paragraph block and are shown a freaking short code. You don’t event see the icon inside the block editor. You then have to open a separate tab in your browser and load up the website’s front end in order to examine it. At that point you will probably discover that the icon is way too small. So no you then need to go back to your short code inside the block editor and mess around with appending CSS classes to it. Bouncing back and fourth until you find the right size for your project. This misses the entire point of the block editor and modern WordPress. You guys can do better. The Font Awesome icon library truly lives up to its name, awesome. It deserves an awesome WordPress plugin. Not this mediocrity. This topic was modified 4 months, 4 weeks ago by Michael.

Very weird implementation for block editors like Gutenberg – no separate block, can only add it to text or through shortcodes which makes things unnecessarily complicated. The icon picker is buggy on top. Not great for an official plugin in 2024.
