 * It seems like a lot of people are getting the same API error in their WordPress
   dashboard. The error itself seems like it is not a big deal, but PLEASE can you
   update the plugin to remove the error message by making it dismissable? It takes
   up a lot of space at the top and will not go away until the API error is resolved.
 * Here is the message:
 * >  **Better Font Awesome**
   > **API Error**
   >  The attempt to reach the jsDelivr API server failed with the
   > following error:
   >  - 404: Not Found (URL: [https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome@5.15.2/advanced-options/metadata/icons.yml](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome@5.15.2/advanced-options/metadata/icons.yml))
   >  - Don’t worry! Better Font Awesome will still render using the included fallback
   >    version: 4.7.0
   >  - **Solution**
   >     This may be the result of a temporary server or connectivity
   >    issue which will resolve shortly. However if the problem persists please
   >    file a support ticket on the plugin forum, citing the errors listed above.

 * I too want to get rid of this very huge Error message which makes nearly half
   the height on some small monitors! Why doesn’t it have an (X)?
 * And I want to get rid of it without having to install the beta version – I’m 
   a designer, not a coder…
 * Thanks for VERY SOON help.
