Icons showing square boxes

How can I resolve the icons showing square x boxes especially for social icons, search box and other valuable icons.

Same issue here…

Please assist.

Hello –

I am having the same problem, but your suggested fix did not help. Also, I have reinstalled the theme several times, updated all td plugins, deactivate ALL non td plugins, cleared the browser cache, etc. I have also double-checked that server requirements are met:
https://forum.tagdiv.com/requirements-for-newspaper/

Nothing has helped.

Chrome’s dev tools is showing the following errors:

– Failed to decode downloaded font: https://site.com/files/themes/Newspaper/images/icons/newspaper.woff?17

– OTS parsing error: incorrect file size in WOFF header

– OTS parsing error: name: table overruns end of file

Any other suggestions for fixing this problem?

If not, can you recommend a way to replace the icon set with something else that works?

Thank you,
Joe

Indeed the above suggestion does not work for me also:
1. Site is powered by Nginx web server, not Apache, No .htaccess
2. Never heard of MaxCDN. Was not listed in Newspaper requirements.

I am surprised this would even present a problem.
What is next?

BarefootWarrior –

FYI – Here’s how I fixed the problem:

Normally, I would update Newspaper by unzipping the file locally, and then uploading the folders and files unzipped via FTP. This would overwrite the existing files. On a hunch, I tried uploading the Newspaper.zip file to the “themes” folder, and then unzipped it there – and presto!

You may want to rename your existing NP folder to something like Newspaper-bak before unzipping, just to have a backup in case things go wrong. Unzipping will then create a new Newspaper folder for you.

Make sure you change ownership (chown) of the Newspaper folder if you’re uploading as root. If this last part doesn’t make sense to you, then you’re probably on a shared server and you don’t have to worry about it.

Good luck!

Hi Joe,
Followed your instructions to the letter, but…
No icons (for me) still all square boxes).

Pre-viewing two other themes on my server show all icons correctly.

Surprise… This afternoon (UTC+10) I noticed that all icons were back where they belonged.

The only thing I can think off that may have helped solve this problem is that I decided earlier to ‘cache’ and ‘minify’ java and CSS with WP-Optimize 3.1.2

But that is just a guess. No admin logins from TagDiv evident.

Thank you all for your interest.

hi,
I can’t solve this problem.
I installed the SSL plugin and it worked for a while, but then it showed again.
I also tried another SSL plugin and it worked, but after few days the problem was back.
Can you please help me?

Hack Fix

I had this (also on other WP Sites) To fix this i deactivate the template (swap to another) then clear cache. Go back to using the original template and all the icons come back 🙂
