this problem is related with your server. As you can see at http://pasteboard.co/2NrBMsbA.png your server does not have CORS library enabled. In this case you should contact with your server administrator. More information about library you can read on http://enable-cors.org/server.html
This hasn't worked for me. I tried inputting this Header set Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" just below <IfModule mod_headers.c> before the rest of the code and it didn't work. Even tried
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*" Header add Access-Control-Allow-Methods: "GET,POST,OPTIONS,DELETE,PUT" Header add Access-Control-Allow-Headers: "Content-Type" and it still didn't work.
Update: I contacted my host service provider and they made me aware that I cannot have the Cors library enabled as my server is a shared one and therefore I do not have root access and won't do unless I update my simple folio website to have the capabilities of a VPS at the cost of 30 pounds a month sooo Is there any other way to get rid of the boxes and Chinese characters?
@muffingroup I contacted them and they said there's nothing they can do. Got any other ideas of what I can do, as this affects the website on mobile too as the menu icon doesn't show. How can I replace this?
@drewcastro Wow, really? That means you should change hosting service then because the answer you get is ridiculous and they definitely don't know what are they talking about. Please put the link to your site and we will have a look on it once again but there would be probably nothing what we can do as the problem is related with server.
I'm having the same issue as @drewcastro. Rather than say it's an issue to be addressed with the host, can't you please provide a way to remove the icons? Even pointing us to the appropriate file to edit them out ourselves would be helpful.
I am also having this issue. I have added a duplicated demo site onto another server to see if this fixes the issue but both demo sites now show chinese characters. I contact both hosting companies and they say there is nothing they can do and say its a htaccess thing.
Every code I add to the htaccess file doesn't work and it appears that there are other customers who also face this so is there any advice you can give because this not only affects the social media icons but also the buttons on the site as well
Hi team, looking for a little help as I have the same problem after upgrading my site from HTTP to HTTPS.
My CDN (AWS Cloudfront) is serving all the other static content perfectly, except for the font file. The icons are not displayed.
I've tried adding / editing / deleting the Access-Control-Allow-Origin entry from .htaccess but it hasn't made any difference.
I have two Wordpress installations, one for the main site and another for the blog. The links are pasted below. Main site: http://bit.ly/2stskT8 Blog: http://bit.ly/2H7ap7M
Can you please have a look at my site and let me know what may be causing it? I'd appreciate your inputs.
For the benefit of other Betheme users who're using CDN, and facing an issue similar to mine, here's an update.
The issue was that after I had implemented the .htaccess solution, the icon problem went away for some site visitors but not for everyone.
I tried clearing the browser cache but it didn't help. I asked several other regular site visitors to clear their cache and recheck. But that didn't help either.
I checked with the CDN team. After analyzing it, they said it could be because repeat visitors to the site were passing the old (http) URL in Access-Control-Allow-Origin. And the CDN server was trying to serve them old HTTP content which was conflicting with the HTTPS setting.
New (first-time) visitors did not have this issue, since their Access-Control-Allow-Origin had the new .htaccess value. The CDN server was able to serve them HTTPS content along with the icon file without any conflict.
Ignoring the underlying technical complexities (which I don't full understand either), the solution to the issue was quite simple.
Invalidate the distribution on the CDN server.
That fixed it for me! Some other site visitors who tested it had to clear their browser cache for the effect to be visible.
So, if you are using AWS Cloudfront and tried all the right things, and you're still pulling your hair out, try invalidating the CDN content so it can start afresh.
I have the same icon problems on my website. All the icons from muffin builder are not being displayed. I added the code snipet on the .htaccess to enable the CORS library but no change. I also deactivated most of the plugins, but that also didn´t solve the problems.
it’s because of CORS library which hasn’t been installed on your server.
More details about the CORS you can read on http://enable-cors.org/server.html but we recommend to contact with your server administrator this case because he will be able to help you for sure.
