Browse and use icons

The icon sets in Highend (Lucide line icons and two icon fonts), the icon picker in WPBakery, and the icon values that elements, shortcodes and menus use.

Highend comes with three icon sets: Lucide, a set of line icons that stay sharp at any size, and two icon fonts, IcoMoon and FontAwesome. You pick icons with the icon picker in WPBakery and in Highend Options, or look up a name on the Icons admin page.

Icon sets

LucideIcon setDefault: 1,866 icons

Line icons from Lucide 1.52.0, free to use under the ISC license (included with the theme). Values start with lucide:, for example lucide:star. Offered by the icon picker in the Icon and Icon List elements.

IcoMoonIcon setDefault: 1,262 icons

Names are prefixed hb-moon-, for example hb-moon-star. Offered everywhere icons are.

FontAwesomeIcon setDefault: 786 icons

Names are prefixed icon-, for example icon-star. Offered everywhere icons are.

Lucide icons are drawn on the page as inline SVG, only where a page uses them, so they add nothing to pages without them. They take the text color and size like a font icon. Lucide has no brand logos: for social networks and other brands, use FontAwesome or IcoMoon, or the Social Icons element.

The icon picker in WPBakery

The Icon element, the Icon List element and each of its items have an icon field: a preview, the icon's value, and a Choose icon button.

The Icon element's icon field with the picker open below it: a search for "like" shows hearts, stars and thumbs up from Lucide, with set buttons for All, Lucide, IcoMoon and FontAwesome

  • Click Choose icon to open the picker right below the field, then click an icon to use it.
  • Search by name, or by what an icon shows: Lucide icons also match their tags, so "like" finds the heart and the thumbs up.
  • Use All, Lucide, IcoMoon or FontAwesome to browse one set at a time. The count under the grid says how many icons match.
  • Remove icon clears the field. In an Icon List item, an empty field uses the list's marker.
  • You can also type or paste a value into the field.

Icon values

Every icon field saves a plain text value, so shortcodes stay readable:

ValueSet
lucide:arrow-rightA Lucide icon. Older names of icons Lucide has since renamed keep working.
hb-moon-heartAn IcoMoon icon.
icon-starA FontAwesome icon.

A Lucide value with a name that doesn't exist shows nothing.

Icons from earlier versions

Icon font values you added before keep working everywhere: in elements, shortcodes, menus and Highend Options. The new Icon and Icon List elements take icon font values too, so you can paste a name you already use.

These places offer the icon fonts only, not Lucide:

  • Icon settings in Highend Options and in the page settings (the 404 page's background icon, the pre-footer callout and top bar buttons, and the Contact Template's contact details). They have a Choose icon button that opens the same picker with IcoMoon and FontAwesome.
  • The icon picker for menu items under AppearanceMenus, in Highend Menu Options, which shows an icon before that menu item.
  • The icon text fields of older elements and shortcodes, such as Icon Box, Icon Column, Icon Feature and Button. Paste a FontAwesome or IcoMoon name into them.

Look up an icon font name

Go to HighendIcons to browse the two icon fonts. Click an icon to copy its name, then paste it into an icon field. Use the search box to filter by keyword (press / anywhere on the page to jump into it), or the All / FontAwesome / IcoMoon filter to browse one set at a time. Lucide icons aren't on this page: find them with the icon picker in WPBakery.
