Hi esnyc13,

On JA Smashboard template, we defined the Font Awesome files’s path in templatesja_smashboardlessbootstrap.less, so you just need to download Font Awesome 3.2.1 package, attract and overwrite the files in templatesja_smashboardfontsfont-awesome folder.

Then go to Template Manager >> Click Compile Less to Css. Then the styles of new font-awesome version will be effective on your website.

Hi Leo

I need to upgrade my Font Awesome to the latest version too. I have installed the smashboard template through QuickStart. I have downloaded the necessary files from Font Awesome and overwritten the existing files.

Here is the link where I download the latest files from Font Awesome:

https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome

Everything goes smooth until I press the ‘Compile Less to Css’ button and it shows the following message:

Compile LESS to CSS failed
parse error: failed at “ line: 2925

Is there anything wrong?

By the way, all the icons on my smashboard template are lost and it looks like this now:

Thanks!

Hi,

Thank you for posting this Font Awesome updating issue. I also got the broken menu icons when I upgraded the Fonts Awesome to version 3.2.1 few weeks ago because the new version contains new icon classes and size changes. Not just menu icons, I think the issue will happen on the icons of other sections. So that, in this case I will transfer this concern to our template team to upgrade the Font Awesome on our JA Smashboard template, they need some time to update, test and adjust any imcompatibilities if exist.

In your case, i attached the old Font Awesome 3.2.0 folder which we has been included from the first version of JA Smashboard template. You can roll back to this version, your icons will display fine then. Hope these help !
