I want to add an icon to the bottom of my page for Bandcamp. Musiq came with font-awesome.min.css 4.5. The bandcamp icon was added in 4.7. I downloaded 4.7 and replaced the 4.5 version with the 4.7 version and uploaded it all (wiith the changes to index) to my site. When I cleared the cache and looked at the site, no font-awesome icon appeared. So, I changed it back to using the 4.5 version. Can you tell me what I might have done wrong? It seemed I should be able to just change that font-awesome.min.css and be all set, but it didn't work.
That is exactly what I replaced. I renamed the original and copied the new one to the styles/vendor/ folder
It's odd. I thought it would have worked without any trouble, but no icons (even the ones that had worked) would show. It was as if the font-awesome.min.css file was missing, but it wasn't. I ended up having to put it back to the original, as I needed the icons to show up
I have put 4.7 back and renamed 4.5 so it would use 4.7. No icons appear now.
I can't leave it that way very long, so please let me know what you see. I have checked font-awesome.min.css 4.7 version and it is formatted the same as 4.5, so I belive the file is OK. I downloaded it directly from font-awesome.
when I inspect the page, in the errors I see this:
fontawesome-webfont.woff:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () fontawesome-webfont.ttf:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 ()
I had assumed that the icons were pulled from the font-awesome.min.css file but now I think that theye are just referenced there to get the correct webfont value. I'm not a web developer so pardon my ignorance. Is it possible that font-awesome is no longer hosting 4.7? I'm just trying to wrap my head around it.

Hello,
You also need to replace this file:
/styles/vendor/font-awesome.min.css

The file is still from 4.5:

Do you have some kind of cache functionality enabled on the server?

Yes, it is 4.5 because I had to change it back. When 4.7 was used, the icons were not showing up at all, even after empying my browser cache.
I will give it another try and leave 4.7 in there so you can see. I will write back after I make the changes.
Thank you for the help
