    Hi guys !
    Allow me to explain this situation: I just put our development website online and it works very well when I access it through the development URL:
    http://aplpweb.koumbit.org

    I have pointed our usual domain name “artistespourlapaix.org” to the new site. This is done by having the URL artistespourlapaix.org point at the proper directory, in this case /www/aplpweb.koumbit.org/ .

    The problem is this:
    http://aplpweb.koumbit.org loads just fine and the whole site works very well.
    http://artistespourlapaix.org loads the home page, but the FontAwesome icons won’t load.

    Both URLs access the same directory and the same index.php file, so the home page should load in a similar way. I have discussed this with our host and they say it’s probably something within the theme. This defies logic, which is why I’m submitting this problem to you.

    Thanks in advance. I hope my exposé is clear enough.

    Hi,

    Your WordPress URL and Site URL has to be the same.
    If not Firefox and Chrome will block your font icons.

    Thank you.

    Thank you Denzel. I just saw there is indeed no problem with Safari.
    So redirecting the URL from the new URL to the old one (instead of pointing to the directory) would be a workaround for now. What do you think ?
