I've found a couple of things which are critical issues, if these cannot be resolved I cannot use this system...which would be a shame!

1. Mobile Devices - all font awesome icons are displayed as a Chinese/Japanese character i. e Post Type, Author, Date, Catagory. Navagation bars also displays a Chinese/Japanese character.

2. Chrome and MS Edge (IE) Issues:

a. MS Edge (IE): no font awesome icons at all...navigation impossible! Does not recognize my theme stylings i.e colors (see image edge.jpg)

b. Chrome: no font awesome icons at all...navigation difficult! ( see image chrome.jpg)

The 3 attached images show what I'm seeing on different browsers--firefox is desired for all other browsers.

windows 10 / android (mobile) / font awesome working on the rest of the site / Latest version of EasyBlog / Joomla 2.5.9
Hey Jeffery,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply,

I tested on my mobile when I view your website, it seems work fine if I access your site with www prefix. (You can take a look of my attached screenshot below.)

By the way, may i know did you try my colleague provided that solution at above?
#1. Change live_site value `http://www.yoursite.com` to ' ' (empty) inside your configuration.php file.


Or

#2. Try set a rewrite rule into your .htaccess file 
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

so it will redirect all non www traffic to www. This should take care of your issue with icons. It'll also prevent possible SEO issues as a result of duplicate content/pages.
If you need help on this, you can consult with your webhosting provider regarding this and see how it goes.

Hi Jeffery,

It seems like the icon only disappear when I'm accessing your site with non-www, http://yoursite.com . If I'm trying to accessing your site with www, http://www.yoursite.com the icon is shown correctly.

I've checked further on your site and it seems like you have set the value of your live_site inside your configuration.php with http://www.yoursite.com hence the fontawesome will only work if you are accessing your site with www. Try to empty the live_site value and see how it goes.

I checked my zone files, they were setup correctly. Seems like EasyBlog is reading my configuration.php file. Seems like a bug to me. In any event I have come up with a work-around. I setup a redirect to match the live site in my config file.

So looks like the only issue to resolve has to do with the font awesome icons displaying incorrectly on mobile devices and of course the Navagation bars (could be font awesome too) I just haven't spent much time looking into it.
