5.0.1 Release Notes
- Automatically fetch the SVG stylesheet any time the WP admin dashboard or Font Awesome plugin settings
page is loaded. This stylesheet is required for the new embedded SVG icons to display correctly when they
are added using the Icon Chooser in the Block Editor. If you do not use the Block Editor, and do not want
this additional stylesheet to be loaded, you can disable it from loading by adding the following to
your theme's functions.php or equivalent:
add_action("wp_enqueue_scripts", function () {
wp_dequeue_style("font-awesome-svg-styles");
});
