TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress site owners using an older version of the Font Awesome Menus plugin, which the developers no longer support in favor of a newer Font Awesome 4 Menus plugin. It lets users add Font Awesome 3.2 icons to menus, posts, pages, and theme templates without writing code, using class names or a shortcode.

  • Add icons via menu class names
  • Shortcode for posts and pages
  • Icons in custom post types
  • Icons in widgets
  • Font Awesome 3.2 library site-wide
  • Hardcode icons in theme templates

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Font Awesome Menus

NO!!!! Go to the new Font Awesome 4 Menus for WordPress for the latest version.
Font Awesome changed its code from using icon-(whatever) to fa-(whatever). If we automatically updated this plugin with the new code, all of the sites using the old one would break. And that's just rude.
Go to Appearance -> Menus, select which menu item to which you want to add the icon, and add the icon class under 'CSS Classes (optional)'. (eg, to add the home icon to your 'Home' link, enter "icon-home" (without quotes) as a class.) Save your menu and voila!
Under Appearance -> Menus, click 'Screen Options' (top right of screen) and make sure that 'CSS Classes' is checked. If not - check it!
Yes. Font Awesome menus adds a space between the icon and the text, and wraps that portion in a span with a class of "fontawesome-text". To hide the text and just show the icon, you can put .fontawesome-text {display: none;} in your stylesheet. You can see this in action at our responsive site (http://www.newnine.com) where the mobile and smaller tablet versions only show the icons, but the text then appears on larger displays.
No. The plugin only makes one option entry in your database which means it won't bloat your installation. On your site, Font Awesome will load two stylesheets - the minified CSS (19kb) and the minified CSS for IE7 (30kb, in a conditional statement) - and the fonts. We use it on mobile-first responsive sites (and our own site) all the time without any noticeable performance drag.
Your site will be fine. Where you used Font Awesome menus, those menu items will just have an additional class (icon-whatever) that you can erase or ignore (or style differently). Only one setting is saved in your database, and that is removed if you uninstall the plugin. No bloat here!
