Icon field not loading icons in post edit page

Hello Elene,

What is the absolute path you add to the icon dir setting? Simply, you can echo the WordPress function get_stylesheet_directory() to get the path to the current theme folder.

Hello,

Please share your site credentials via this contact form https://metabox.io/contact/
I will take a look.

Hello,

The data saved to the database is the icon name so you should wrap it in an HTML tag to output the file URL. For example:

{% for clone in post.group_field_id %}
	{% set icon_name = clone.icon_field_id %}
	<img src="{{ mb.get_stylesheet_directory_uri() }}/assets/svg/{{ icon_name }}.svg" />
{% endfor %}

I can confirm that the icon field is no longer loading the assets as of 5.9.1 in both the builder and the front-end. In my case it is the default Font Awesome library. It is easy to duplicate the issue: simply add the icon field to your field group. Then in your custom post: attempt to select an icon but none appear.

I assume it is from the update to 5.9.1, but I am unable to verify as the plugin immediately updates upon restoring a backup.

Hi Peter. I was able to revert and can confirm 5.9.0 works as expected.

Previous versions can be downloaded at the WordPress Meta Box Plugin page → Advanced View → Previous Versions.

Or use wp-cli like I did:

cd wp-content/plugins
wp plugin auto-updates disable meta*
wp plugin delete meta-box && wp plugin install meta-box --version=5.9.0 --activate
