How can I disable the plugins default font awesome stylesheet as my theme is loading it’s own?
There is a filter inside the Font Awesome Box Shortcode plugin titled enqueued_fabs_font_awesome_filter which you can use to specify your themes enqueued version of Font Awesome which will then disable the plugin version from loading.
If your themes loaded version of font awesome has been enqueued as font-awesome then you don’t need to use any filters as the plugin will detect that loaded script and not load it’s own version of the Font Awesome stylesheet from MAX CDN.
If your existing loaded version of Font Awesome has been enqueued under a different name like my_themes_fontawesome as an example then you would have to use the filter below to specify the name under which your current version was being enqueued.
