adding custom icons

[vtheme]

Hi,
I followed the suggestion in the icon shortcode creation:

Select an icon. For adding icons, you can create a folder in your child theme called “icons” — Anything placed in that directory will show here after the 24-hour cache period is over.

but after adding the directory and items to my child theme , after 2 days, I still do not see the icons in this list.

I have used 48×48 png’s …. is there a particular way these need to be named or added?

Hi,

Is your icon image a .png image? Did you try just typing your image name into the shortcode, and seeing if it outputs on the frontend of your site?

[icon image="icon-name"]

… In this case the file would be icon-name.png

[vtheme]

Yes, they are png’s – and just using the name in the shortcode worked fine, I guess I expected to see the images in the choice box also , is there anything I can do to get them there for the future?

Thanks for the help!

They should be showing up. I’m not sure why they aren’t.

[vtheme]

ok then!

I will wait it out and hope for the best – thanks again!

I think see now why it’s not working. I’ll fix this for the next update to the shortcodes plugin. But the next update won’t be ready for a little while, as the current iteration is tied to other changes that have been made for a new theme I’m making.
