    I noticed that the iconsweets fonts do not work in mobile menus (on mobile devices screens), only letters and numbers can be seen instead of icons. How this can be repaired?

    Hi lurie – @iurie

    Are they working when you view on non-mobile devices?  I just took a look at my test site on my Android phone and the icons are showing fine.  I know that we’ve had some issues in the past.  Can you provide the device you are using and any more info that the dev team might find useful – if possible, a screenshot of what you are seeing.

    Thanks.

    @scottvoth – Thank you, Scott! They are not working only on my Android mobile devices – a Chinese Vowney V5 smartphone and also a Chinese Pipo M8Pro tablet with Android 4.2. The screenshot is from my smartphone.

    My profile menu with Iconsweets fonts on my in development site.

    Hi Iurie @iurie –

    I am not sure but it might be device related.  Anyway, I have opened up a ticket on github for the theme developers to look at and see what they think.  You can track their progress here:

    Thanks for reporting this!

    So, this is an Android default browser problem (maybe only for Chinese devices?). In the Android version of Firefox the icons are rendered as expected.

    The same problem occurs for me with Firefox in a Linux OS on a desktop computer.  There are also several fails in the Options tab of the theme settings, such as replacing the background and logo images.  Love the CUNY work Boone has done, so I’m bummed about this.

    I should add that it is happening on my dev networks, but looks fine to me at commonsinabox.org.  Some setting somewhere must be preventing the fonts from loading.  I hope an answer is found by one of us.  😀

    Hi @wadsworth4 –

    There is another thread about this here – https://commonsinabox.org/groups/help-support/forum/topic/submenu-icons-iconsweets/

    as well as an open ticket on GitHub here – https://github.com/cuny-academic-commons/cbox-theme/issues/159

    Hi Christian @haystack – do you know where we stand on this and the best workaround for K.Wadsworth?  It seems that the iconsweets are not appearing when running locally on Linux OS (not a mobile issue).  Thanks!

    Thanks for your feedback, Scott Voth.  Seems that the other thread no longer applies, as the absolute paths have been removed from the current release.  Really cool to see that the dev community is actively on the case!  Will keep poking around on this end and post anything I learn.  Hoping it may be as easy as a plugin conflict.  Thanks, again!

    @wadsworth4 Could you describe your setup more fully please? Which flavour of Linux? Which Firefox version? Are the icons disappearing on your main site or on a sub-site? Are you using a child theme? Do you see any errors in Firebug?

    Cheers, Christian

    I’ve dumped everything and am starting over from scratch.  You know, I had BP set up outside of the root using the wp-config line:

    define ( ‘BP_ROOT_BLOG’, 2 );

    Have you seen errors pop up with a config like that?  Off to search forums to see if setting up BP in a subsite tends to create problems for Commons in a Box.

    Thanks for your speedy help.  Late to the show, but so happy to learn Commons in a Box exists.  In 2011, I tried to mimic it.  Now here it is with a click!  So psyched that it exists and that there is a community around it.  Thanks, again.

    @wadsworth4 Thanks for the extra info – I haven’t seen errors with BuddyPress defined on sites other than the root blog, but I’ll check out the situation you describe in more depth now. It would be useful to know some of the answers to my questions nevertheless – so that I can replicate your setup as best I can. In the meantime, please don’t hesitate to post any issues you run into: every report helps the community make it better in the long run.

    Cheers, Christian
