How to Change Dash Icons for Topics?

#1 · October 31, 2018, 6:31 pm

I was wondering how can I change the dash icons for the topics like I am able to do with the categories? I don’t need to use custom icons, just the ones Wordpress has, but I only see a place to change the category icon.

Hello @shiftisnow

You can try to use the following CSS-code to change the default-icon for topic:

#af-wrapper .topic .topic-status::before {
    content: "\f118";
}

Replace the value in the content-property with the ID of the dashicon you want to use.

Thanks for the code; just one question…where should it go?

Hello @shiftisnow

In the appearance-section of your theme you find the customizer. There should be an option somewhere inside it where you can add custom css-code.

That worked; thanks! Only thing now is that all the topics turned into the icon I changed it to, including the sticky threads. Is there a way that I can still keep the sticky threads as the default pin icons they were before? The arrow in my screengrab below is pointing to a topic that used to be a pin icon for a sticky thread.

Hello again, @shiftisnow

You are correct, my mistake.

Please try it again with the following code:

#af-wrapper .dashicons-normal_open::before {
    content: "\f118";
}
