Icons for CP

This plugin allows to use SVG icons in post and pages.

Add new icons

Just use the “Icons” menu in “Appearance” menu.
Add your own icons or any from FontAwesome to the theme.

Put the name of the icon as the title (use something like my-brand-icon) and the SVG as the post.

Note: if you uninstall the plugin your icons get lost.
To keep them add define('KEEP_ICONS_FOR_CP', true); to wp-config.php.

It also adds a menu to TinyMCE (v. 4 and v.5) to choose the icon and insert the shortcode for you.
