Icons might seem like small details, but they hold the power to completely change how a website feels and functions. Think of a WordPress site without icons—just walls of text and plain links.
Whether you’re a blogger trying to make posts pop or a business owner highlighting your services, icons do the heavy lifting of guiding users and making information stick.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through two simple methods: the Blocchi definitivi Plugin for general icon use and the Tavolo di lavoro Plugin for adding icons to tables. Let’s dive in.
Metodo 1: Utilizzo del plugin Ultimate Blocks
Blocchi definitivi is a perfect solution for anyone looking for a quick and straightforward way to add icons to posts or pages.
Step 1: Install Ultimate Blocks
Go to your WordPress dashboard, then navigate to Plugin > Aggiungi nuovo. Look for "Blocchi definitivi" using the search bar. Once found, click Installare e poi attivare il plugin.
Step 2: Add the Icon Block
From your WordPress editor, jump to the post or page where you need to place an icon. Click on the Inseritore di blocchi (“+” button), type “Icon” in the search bar, and choose the Ultimate Blocks Icon Block.
Step 3: Select and Add an Icon
Next, you need to click on the “Icon Library” option to open the icon library. There, you’ll find appropriate WordPress icons along with Font Awesome icons.
Now, you can browse through all the available options in the library and search for the specific one using keywords. Once you’ve found your desired icon, click on it to insert the icon in your content.
Step 4: Adjust the Icon Appearance
Now, if you need to customize your icons, move to the right side of the dashboard and open the Blocks settings in the sidebar. From the General Settings tab, you can resize and rotate the icon as needed.
If you swap to the Stili settings, you can change the colors, border, or other details.
Step 5: Save Your Work
Check the icon placement and customization. Once everything is in order, click Pubblicare o Aggiornamento to save your page or post.
Metodo 2: utilizzo del plugin Tableberg
Tableberg is ideal for those looking to incorporate icons into structured layouts like tables.
Passo 1: installare l'Tableberg
Again, log in to your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugin > Aggiungi nuovoe cercare "Tableberg". Once found, Installare e attivare il plugin.
Passo 2: creare una nuova tabella
Open your WordPress editor and add a new Tableberg block. This can be done by clicking the Inseritore di blocchi (“+” button), typing "Tableberg" in the search bar, and selecting the block.
Step 3: Add an Icon to a Cell
First, choose the order for your table and create your table. Later, fill your table with appropriate blocks and content.
Once you’re done, select the cell where you want to place the icon. Click on the “+” sign and search for the Icona block. Once you’ve found it, click on it to insert it.
A default icon will be placed in the predefined place. If you need an alternate icon, move to the icon section on the side panel of your dashboard and either search or scroll down to pick your desired icon from the library. You can also import your preferred icon through a URL.
Step 4: Customize the Icon
Once you’ve added your preferred icon, you can start customizing it. Start by clicking the icon you want to customize. This will open the Block Setting. If not, open it from the right side of your dashboard. From the General settings, you can adjust the size, rotation, and how you want your icon to behave as.
And if you move to the Styles tab, you can change the colors, border, or other details.
Step 5: Save the Table
After completing your table and customizing the icon, click Save or Update to keep your changes. Preview the table to ensure the icon looks perfect.
