TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

Subtle Icons is for WordPress users and developers who build with Gutenberg blocks or Advanced Custom Fields and want to add SVG icons to their site.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Subtle Icons – SVG Icon Block Suite, Icon Picker & ACF Field

No! The custom blocks work perfectly out of the box. The ACF field is just a bonus for developers who want to integrate icons into custom meta boxes.

The Icon Picker connects to Iconify via a proxy API to search icons, but the SVG code is embedded directly into your content. No third-party frontend assets are loaded on your live site.

The Iconify API is called only in the WordPress admin and used for icon search and discovery. There are two key points of contact: Server-to-Server (Proxy): Search queries (keywords) and icon retrievals (set prefix and icon name) are routed through a REST endpoint on your WordPress server. Iconify only sees your server's IP address for these requests. Direct from Browser: Icon preview thumbnails in the search grid are loaded directly from the editor's browser (via the @iconify/react library). The editor's IP address and standard browser headers are visible to Iconify for these image requests. API Endpoints (all operated by the Iconify project): Primary: api.iconify.design Fallbacks: api.simplesvg.com, api.unisvg.com Iconify Policies & Links: API documentation Privacy policy

Every icon is cleaned up twice before it ever touches your database — once in the browser the moment an icon is chosen, and again on the server when the post is saved. Both passes use strict allowlists that permit only the elements a real icon needs. Anything that could execute code or load an external resource is removed automatically, regardless of where the SVG came from. The icon search itself only works for logged-in users who can already edit posts, so the feature is not exposed to the public.
