 * How did you solve this? I cannot use ::before or ::after to add font awesome 
   5 icons and it is incredibly frustrating. I copied the EXACT css that this plugin
   uses and applied it to an element using ::after. It will not work at all. This
   seems like a major oversight – why would you create a plugin to add font awesome
   icons if the most basic way to add them via css doesn’t work?
