AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Advanced Custom Fields: Font Awesome Field is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Acf category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 36 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained.

How Advanced Custom Fields: Font Awesome Field works
Show full descriptionShow less
Add a Font Awesome icon field type to Advanced Custom Fields.
Specify which FontAwesome icon sets to use (Solid, Regular, Light, Thin, Duotone, Duotone Sharp, Brands, and Custom Upload Icons) (Some features only available with FontAwesome 5.x or 6.x icons)
Create your own custom filtered list of FontAwesome icons to use with your fields. Use different custom icon sets with different fields
Returns Icon Element, Icon Class, Icon Unicode, or an Object including the element, class, unicode value, and SVG data (if applicable)
Optionally enqueues Font Awesome in footer where needed (when a FontAwesome field is being used on the page))
Integrates with the FontAwesome GraphQL for loading your FontAwesome Kits, searching for icons, and loading the latest version of FontAwesome
Note: It is recommended to let this plugin enqueue the latest version of Font Awesome on your front-end; or include the latest version yourself using your FontAwesome Kit; so that available icons in the admin area will be displayed properly on your sites front-end.
Compatibility This ACF field type is compatible with:
* ACF 5.7+
* FontAwesome 4.x, 5.x, 6.x and 7.x fonts
Optional Configuration Filters
ACFFA_always_enqueue_fa: Return true to always enqueue FontAwesome on the frontend, even if no ACF FontAwesome fields are in use on the page. This will enqueue FontAwesome in the header instead of the footer.
ACFFA_admin_enqueue_fa: Return false to stop enqueueing FontAwesome in the admin area. Useful if you already have FontAwesome enqueued by some other means.
ACFFA_get_icons: (Applies to FontAwesome 4.x and 5.x icons only) Filter the array of icons and icon details loaded from the database
ACFFA_get_fa_url: Filter the URL used for enqueuing FontAwesome in the frontend and admin areas of the site.
ACFFA_override_major_version: Filter to manually set the ‘major’ version of FontAwesome to load (accepts either 4, 5, or 6). NOTE: This filter must be registered before any calls to ACF get_field() function are made.
ACFFA_fa_api_key: Filter to programmatically set the FontAwesome API key.
ACFFA_fa_kit_token: Filter to programmatically set the FontAwesome kit token.
