An introduction to the Icon Boxes

Part of the front page template contains a section to display Icon Boxes:

r iconboxes

You get 3 icon boxes, each are customizable using the available settings in the customizer. How you customize your boxes will be up to you as you can enable/disable each element:

  • Icon
  • Title
  • Introduction Content
  • Button

Remeber that these only show on the front page when using the Front Page Template. However, if you decide to go for the Pro version of Relative, you get an Icon Box widget that you can use in most, if not all of the sidebar positions. You can then publish them on other areas of your website too.

Font Awesome Icon Library

The icons used in this theme are based on Font Awesome version 4.0, so the icon classes we will be using are going to be compatible with this theme as we are using Font Awesome within it. 

NOTE: The Font Awesome website now displays the version 5 icons (the pro version of this theme uses v5), but version 4 are hidden on their website. Click the button below to get the icon codes. I would recommend bookmarking that page.
