Helix Ultimate with Joomla5 can't see the angle-down character in the drop-down menu

Asked by Oscar Salerni 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Good morning, everyone,
I have upgraded to joomla5 a site that has already been using the Helix Ultimate framework for years. After upgrading to joomla 5 everything works fine except that for Font Awesome 6 fonts in the megamenu.
Instead of displaying me the angle-down font (f107) the site displays me a square. Inspecting with the Firefox and Chrome tools the element, it turns out that the template.css file presents a square every time it invokes an Awesome font. I tried replacing it with the code: content:"\f107"; but it does not change the situation.
Thank you!

Ciao Oscar.

We have many guides, please always check Helix FAQ section before using FORUM.

In your case ... you need only that

body.ltr .sp-megamenu-parent > li.sp-has-child > a::after, 
body.ltr .sp-megamenu-parent > li.sp-has-child > span::after {
  font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";}

That line:

content: "fa-solid fa-angle-down";

is TOTALLY WRONG !!! CSS Content =/= Class Name.
