I would like to use Font Awesome Pro instead of the free version. What is the best way to do this?
Basti
Hello Trishah,
you can simply use CDN in your child-theme for Pro version

Thank you for this plugin. It saved me today. About the only thing that didn’t work was trying to do a font awesome icon `fa-envelope`. The style is there, but the glyph doesn’t show.

is it a limited set shipped?

My previous comment is being moderated. I typed in a markdown style comment for HTML code and it didn’t get through, but stranger than that, a random string that I didn’t type “is it a limited set shipped?” got in.
The code I tried to put was an icon element with `class=”fab fa-envelope”`

Hi Trevor,
markdowns doesn’t work here in comments. Fontawesome free is installed here.
fab fa-envelope
