Seconded

[oceandiveloper]

yes please

[adamjacobi]

Font Awesome 6 has been out for months. Is this even committed to by Elementor?

[hitsgee]

Any news on this? Also adding Googles open source icons would be great.

[crispee2000]

Yes. Can't believe this isn't in.

[mettrodigital]

Yes please!

Looks like there is a stalled PR to upgrade: https://github.com/elementor/elementor/pull/18546/files

[pan-athen]

I'm not aware of the underlying tech here, so I'm sorry if what I propose cannot be done. I'm just pitching the high-level idea.

I would like to add that the rest of the icon styles that come out of beta would also be nice to be included. Like the newer "Sharp Solid" which looks beautiful. Here's a preview: https://fontawesome.com/search?s=solid&f=sharp&o=r

In general, Font Awesome seems committed to producing many different styles. The Sharp family is going to get extended soon. See here: https://fontawesome.com/docs/web/dig-deeper/styles

A future-proof solution for Elementor would be to include styles that come out of the beta track of Font Awesome as soon as possible. Can this be made at least for those who use the pro version of FA and kits?

Cheers!

Half a year later.... come on elementor!

[hitsgee]

It's ridiculous! Elementor thinks they're cutting-edge, but they are behind the game now.

As a developer, I have missed out on so many opportunities to create incredible designs with the new thin, thick styles etc. Along with having to design a ridiculous amount of Covid-19 info pages during the pandemic without a Covid Icon available due to lack of updates!

• Alpha release date was 27th October 2020 (2+ Years ago)
• Beta release date was 29th May 2021 (18+ Months ago)
• Official release date was 7th February 2022 (10+ Months ago)

As you can see from the dates above, Elementor indeed were aware of FA6 and could easily have implemented the library update during the Alpha/Beta stages and released it to us in the first update after the official FA release.

It's also worth noting FA is now on 6.2.1 with five updates since the official release, so it's got to be stable!

Come on, Elementor, get your act together!

Second that. This is mandatory for modern and visually appealing websites. I'm stuck with uploading files with any icon I need and using it via the media gallery, which is something I would gladly do in the 90s.

I submitted a support ticket and asked to be escalated to someone who could give a direct answer, and just got this stock response:

Hi Adam,

Thank you for contacting Elementor. I’m Nitesh from Tier 2 Customer Experience.

Font Awesome 6 implementation request has been submitted to the product development team for review already.

Unfortunately, we can’t provide any ETA, I suggest keeping an eye on the Changelog to know when it's released.
https://elementor.com/pro/changelog/

I hope it helps. Please don't hesitate to create a new ticket from your Account if a new issue arises.

We'd be glad to help.

Have a great day/evening.

Best Regards,

Adding my name to the request for update!
I'll stay tuned for the release of the feature.

[toineenzo]

Lol, already more than 1 month without any commits and changes to the FA6 PR.... #24315
Kinda getting fed up. How do they want to release this the next update? Probably will not even be in 3.21, but probably in 4.0 or something.

[Byte-Developments]

Oh this would be awesome tbh.

[toineenzo]

Answer from Elementor:

Hi @toineenzo I'm sorry to inform you that this update ran into numerous issues, supporting FA6 without breaking existing sites that use FA5 is much more complicated than it might seem, we are still looking for ways to promote this update but I don't have a clear ETA at the moment,
Please note that the 'twitter/x' icon and the 'Thread' icon are already available since version 3.20

:(

No Worries Elementor. I loved you in the past, but brick by brick I lost feelings for you. It's not me, it's you.
It's over - I have a new one. Not only that, but it's actually already going on for months, but I didn't want to tell you.

Why don’t you just add an option in settings allowing us to choose 5 or 6? Then people can stay at 5 if it breaks things. Not rocket science Matt Massey MasseyMedia, Inc.

Need FA6 icons!

[EdwardBlack]

I'm out. Switched to BricksBuilder with my Agency and after 10 builds I am more than happy. Good luck to all Elementor users getting this fixed. #unsubscribed

[Ricarditu]

Only after buying the Pro version I noticed theres is no FA6 direct integration in Elementor. And checking that there's more than 2 years to get this implemented... How is it possible?!
C'mon Elementor! Bring FA6!

[keyvanestermann]

For the people stumbling upon this issue in 2025, I got tired of waiting and made a Wordpress plugin :
https://github.com/keyvanestermann/better-fontawesome-wp

For now, it includes FontAwesome 6.7.2
It also changes the icons you can pick in the Elementor Icon Library

Please note that this is a hack using an undocumented PHP Hook from Elementor, and it might break with any update
(currently works with Elementor 3.28.3)

[lphaweb]

@keyvanestermann does your plugin work with FontAwesom 7 pro ? :)

Elementor, you're two major release late of FA, that's a real shame.

[gerardreches]

But hey, v4 is coming, and with it, a new wave of bugs.

I tried editor V4 a few days ago and it took me less than 5 minutes to find multiple bugs and limitations.

I can't believe that we are getting Font Awesome 7 before Elementor even updates to Font Awesome 6 while it is their main icons library.
