v1.0.3 - Elementor browser storage fix
Hashe Font Awesome 7 Icon Library for Elementor v1.0.3
Current recommended release. Adds searchable Font Awesome 7.3.1 Free catalogs to Elementor's native Icon Library, with 16 optional names-only Pro style catalogs when a Kit ID is configured.
Fixed in v1.0.3
- Prevent Elementor's large icon catalogs from exhausting browser localStorage.
- Keep Hashe catalogs in editor-session memory and remove only obsolete Hashe icon-cache entries.
- Preserve unrelated Elementor storage, normal per-category JSON fetching, existing saved icons, and concurrent category callbacks.
Install the packaged plugin
- Download hashe-fa7-elementor-v1.0.3.zip from the release's Assets section below. Do not install either automatic GitHub "Source code" ZIP/TAR archive.
- In WordPress: Plugins > Add New Plugin > Upload Plugin, select the attached ZIP, install, and activate. Elementor must be active.
- Edit a page with Elementor and open a widget's Icon Library control. Free Solid, Regular and Brands tabs work without a Font Awesome account or Kit.
- Optional: configure your own Font Awesome Kit ID under Elementor Settings > Integrations > Font Awesome Pro (availability depends on Elementor version). The Kit must actually be licensed and configured to load the desired styles.
Important Pro license limitation: Entering a Kit ID does not grant or verify Font Awesome Pro access. Pro catalogs contain icon names only. With a Kit configured, the site's Kit supplies fonts, including for Free icons; a misconfigured Kit may cause blank glyphs.
Requirements and verification scope
- Plugin minimums: WordPress 6.2+, PHP 7.4+, and an active Elementor installation.
- GitHub Actions runs PHP lint/smoke tests for PHP 7.4, 8.2 and 8.3, plus a Node.js simulated editor-storage and callback test. These are not a complete real-browser compatibility suite.
- Pull request #1 documents additional Chromium reproduction/testing. On 26 October 2026, the Amari site owner confirmed the Elementor editor was working with v1.0.3.
- Other WordPress/Elementor versions, browsers, Kits and third-party plugin combinations have not been exhaustively tested. Report reproducible defects in GitHub Issues; never post private Kit credentials.
Versions and licensing
- v1.0.1 was withdrawn after causing an Elementor editor regression. Its installer was removed; its Git tag and commits remain in project history. Do not install it.
- v1.0.0 is retained only as a superseded historical baseline, not recommended for new installations.
- Hashe plugin PHP: GPL-2.0-or-later. Bundled Font Awesome Free assets retain original MIT/SIL OFL/CC BY licenses. No Pro CSS, fonts, glyphs, private credentials or license are distributed.
- Independent Hashe Computer Solutions project; not affiliated with Font Awesome or Elementor. See the README for requirements, troubleshooting, and attribution.
