By your inage it looks like fontawesome library is not loaded ie: upload(yourforumroot)/images/mybbdarkness/font-awesome

As with that library included your image should look like so:

completetly mybbdarkness folder has upload into my foum folder with /font-awesome include

same result

same result

then perhaps the extracted files are corrupted or you modified the headerinclude library call because your image clearly shows that fontawesome is not loaded



As you can see in headerinclude the library is called to load here:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$theme['imgdir']}/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" />

and must not be modified as it is looking for correct defined file upload location





And since it is looking for the font-awesome directory and these are required so if any are missing or corrupted you may run into the issue you have in your picture






Also note, I just installed it fine by putting files correctly and then recreated your issue by installing but intentionally misplacing fontawesome files, so again it is fairly clear what the issue is...

Just saying...

I just reloaded the theme , extracted and upload the font-awesome files again on my localhost
I didn't change anything headerinclude, I don't know where it is

where can i find this line please ?

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{$theme['imgdir']}/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css" />

In headerinclude template, also when you uploaded did you upload and overwrite the files with the same extracted files? I ask this because if it was the extraction that corrupted or partialed a file, the best bet is re-extract the zip and then overwrite the forum files with new theme files. I have had this happen before on other zip where say one file on the zip only has say half the content thus why I mentioned it as one possibility.  Like I said I did not run into this problem installing the pkg found on mods site with correct file placement, but perhaps that is your issue or perhaps you have file permission issues, but it really does sound like the library is not loading and like I said the only way how I recreated that issue is by intentionally misplacing the library files so as the headerinclude could not find them or changing headerinclude call to intentionally look for nonexistant source



Note: if you still cannot get this sorted you could simply use another tactic since this theme uses fontawesome 4.7  you can comment out the headerinclude call and then perrhaps review here https://community.mybb.com/thread-225955...pid1341248 and review full instructions here then download plugin at same here https://community.mybb.com/mods.php?acti...w&pid=1259  because in theoey this willy bypass existing library and install a fresh library with icons managed straight from forum settings, just another option if you cant figure out a solution beyond what I have already provided.

what is the exact destination directory to upload to my localhost for the font-awesome folder please?
because I think he’s out of place,

currently in:
www \ forummybb \ images \ mybbdarkness \ font-awesome

is it in the right place?

Yes, also did you check in your theme settings that the theme directory path (image path) is correct and unchanged? As I am just listing any of the possible situations that would cause fa library to not load. Also are you sure your file permissions are all correct?  Also seeing a site link to view your site in question is usually helpful and does tend to save often limited time. Also, if you cannot still manage to figure this out and wish to bypass it alltogether I did provide another solution in my previous response that is worth considering.

* I clarify yet again that I also stated this theme installed perfectly fine twice for me as is by ignoring version compatability since it is not up to date and I was only able to recreate your issue by removing fa library files from correct locations or modifying the headerinclude call or modifying the theme directory path in theme settings,

Verify the font-awesome css loads by viewing page source and clicking the link similar to
<link rel="stylesheet" href=" your local source path may be different but ends with mybbdarkness/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">
If the result calls up a page of code with attribution to Font Awesome in the commented section, then your connection to the fontawesome script is good. It is likely that the fonts are in the right place as well.

Then, look down further in the page source to see header elements. You should see a code specifying the icon for settings and a number of other header elements in this similar style: <i class="fa fa-globe">&nbsp;</i>
This step verifies the theme itself is installed with templates intact.

If you are still having problems displaying pages correctly, you should provide a url so others can review.

Oops, I see you are localhost. URL not easy to connect to from remote.

Headerinclude is a template in Ungrouped Templates in the mydarkness theme set.

@OP: If you are having trouble with font-awesome, follow the simple steps in this tutorial I wrote long time ago.
