Hey guys,

I was wondering how can I change the attachment file icon. As you can see in the picture, the icon is a Message icon instead of a Download icon (fas fa-download) or a File icon!

 

Thanks for the help.

I have no idea, still you must fix them.

@anonymous20,

The errors are related to my theme that I'm working on replacing.

I do not know from where they come, still they are also in wpForo pages.

Also all your SEO is wrong. Titles and Description and all. Why don't you use the wpForo SEO options?

All your topics have the main page titles and description.

For example:

https://tesreg.com/community/fusion-360/how-to-create-propellers-f3d-file/

has:

<title>Forum - TESTREG.com</title> 

<meta name="robots" content="index,follow"> <meta name="description" content="Join our community to get any help with the Benchmark Table, Fusion 360 or if you just want to say Hi! ;)" />

I believe the SEO is turned on, but it never worked for me. Maybe you can give me some pointers on how to fix this!?

I do not see any wpForo SEO tags, i see some other SEO plugin (hard to tell which since you optimize the html).

Do you use some SEO plugin? Are you sure you have enabled wpForo SEO?

@anonymous20,

I'm using Squirrly SEO. Maybe it's blocking wpforo SEO. I'll turn it off now and see it helps.

Where do I find the wpforo SEO?

Okay, I found the SEO features and they are on - Titles and Tags.

I have also disabled the Squirrly SEO. Do you know a better SEO plugin that works well with WPforo SEO?

Remove that "seo" plugin and install SEO Framework that is wpForo aware. The wpForo SEO is in wpForo settings.

@beyondforce,

Please see how it looks in my case. The screenshot is attached below.

To display the attachment icon follow the solution below.

Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles admin page, put the following CSS code in the "Custom CSS Code" textarea, save it, delete all caches and check again. 

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .attach_cant_view span:before {
content: "\f0c6";
font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
font-weight: bold;
}

@sofy,

That's odd, I get a different icon instead and if I'm trying to force it, then I get no icon.

@beyondforce,

Have you added the CSS code provided by me in the previous post?

Yes, but it doesn't work. I get a square icon.

@beyondforce,

Please put the following CSS code as well:

i.far.fa-file.fa-5x.wpfa-file-icon {
font-weight: bold !important;
}

Yessss, now it's working! 😀 

Some many css code lines for 1 icon! Is that how it's supposed to be?

@sofy,

But I also need an SEO for the rest of my website.

Till now, I have used Squirrly SEO and it conflicted with WPforo SEO, which is why I'm looking for another one.
