    • Open the block inserter within the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and search for „icon”. The plugin should appear and allow you to install it directly. Skip steps 2 and 3.

  3. Search for the block within the Block Editor (Gutenberg) and begin using it.

GYIK

Where can I get more icons?

Currently, the Icon Block only includes the WordPress icon library. That said, the plugin allows you to render any SVG-based icon by simply copying/pasting the code into the icon text area when using the „Add custom icon” option! See the screenshots for reference. This gives you complete flexibility and allows you to use practically any icon you want. A great source for free SVG icons is Google’s Material Icons project, Font Awesome, and Iconic, to name a few.

The Icon Block also allows you to register your own custom block library. This needs to be done externally in your theme or via a plugin but provides complete flexibility over the icons available in the plugin. Learn more.

Why is my icon not changing color?

The Icon Block includes controls for the icon’s color and background. However, if your SVG icon has hard-coded color/fill values, the plugin will respect those instead of any applied custom colors.

Why can’t I add SVG icons from my Media Library?

By default, WordPress does not allow you to add SVG files to your Media Library, but you can enable this functionality using plugins like Safe SVG. If SVG uploads are enabled, you will see the option to insert icons from Media Library in the Icon Block.

Why is the block not working for certain users?

WordPress only allows Administrators and Editors to save „Unfiltered HTML” content, which includes SVGs. The Icon Block will not work properly for users who are at the Author level or lower.

Note that WordPress multisite installations have additional restrictions. „Unfiltered HTML” is restricted to Super Admins on multisite. To enable „Unfiltered HTML” content for site Administrators and Editors, you will need to use a code snippet, the Unfiltered MU plugin, or something similar. Regrettably, this is a WordPress restriction and needs to be handled outside of the Icon Block.

I love WordPress and the new block themes. And plugins like these are the icing on the cake. Thank you!

This block is what every web designer have been waiting for. A couple of ideas to enhance it: Add hover / focus color: especially useful when a link is defined Add padding support: so we can set 48px for wrapper and a smaller size for the icon itself Support for block button: maybe WP 6.5 could allow it but not sure Thanks!
