Glyphicon icon not displayed - css

I use glyphicon icons in my project, I use bootstrap 3.0.0 .
I have problem to display glyphicon-option-vertical icon, it just not displaed!
Here how I use it:
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-option-vertical"></span>
While all other icons displayed fine.Any idea why this specific icon is not displayed?

Probably it's not declared in your Bootstrap CSS file. You might need to download the latest bootstrap from GitHub. Here you can find the fonts files

Fontawesome always reloading icons

I upgraded from Fontawesome 3 to Fontawesome 5.
Now I got several problems. If I am just linking the font-awesome.min.css in the head, the icons are not loading. I just see squares.
If I link the all.css and tha all.js in the head, I works. So the icons are shown correctly. But everytime, I am clicking any Button and the page is realoding, it takes around half a second to reload the icons. In the previous Version it worked without the js and the icons weren't reloading at all.
I am not sure why it is behaving like this. Maybe because all the <i ...> are converted into svg?
Do you have any hints what I can do?
The class names changed.
In FontAwesome 3:
<i class="icon-thumbs-up"></i>
In FontAwesome 5:
<i class="fas fa-thumbs-up"></i>
You should look them up here and change them manually.

Adding fontawesome to shortcodes ultimate tab

I'd like to add a fontawesome icon to a shortcodes ultimate tab title.
When I try to do it inline
<i class="fa fa-500px"></i>
nothing comes up. Is it possible, either using CSS or some other means?
[font-awesome-icon] Tab text 1
[font-awesome-icon] Tab text 2
[font-awesome-icon] Tab text 3
For using shortcodes, there is a plugin which fetches the latest font awesome icons:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-font-awesome/
It works like this:
[icon name="fa-flag" class="fa-2x fa-spin fa-border"]
They have also alternatives syntaxes for previous versions (with the icon- class names).

Material Icons vs Material Design Icons

There are two ways to use Materilize Icon:
<i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i>
<i class="material-icons">ICON_NAME</i>
In the official site I did not find guide or icon chart for using the font in this way <i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i> but there is guide on how to use the icon in this way <i class="material-icons">ICON_NAME</i> here.
So, when official site doesn't have guide on how to use the icon in this way <i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i>. Then why is it defined all over the stylesheet (materialize.css).
Also, if I need to call the icon this way <i class="material-icons">ICON_NAME</i> then I need to link one for font file. Eg.<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/icon?family=Material+Icons" rel="stylesheet">. Hence, I feel that 2 fonts will be loaded into the DOM which is not needed, right?
My quesiton is: Where can I find Icon chart if I need to use icon in this way <i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i>?
I got it answered by Materialize team:
https://github.com/Dogfalo/materialize/issues/1824#issuecomment-125949178
For question: Where can I find Icon chart if I need to use icon in this way <i class="mdi-ICON-NAME"></i>
I got answer: The mdi type icons are being phased out for the official google sources, that's why you won't find the old chart in the documentation. A complete list of the new icons can be found in https://www.google.com/design/icons/
For question: Why not just delete all the mdi icons and css defined as new icons are already offered by google, isn't it?
I got answer: Because that would suddenly break all the user implementations, so this way it can be phased out gradually, giving people time to update their icons.
If you really need to check the old implementation, you can go through the commit history from https://github.com/Dogfalo/materialize/blob/master/icons.html and look at a version before the google icons were added.
You can find the full list of icons here https://www.google.com/design/icons/
The naming is mdi-category-iconname.
An example:
<i class="mdi-action-search"></i>

Why do my bootstrap buttons design differs from default

I'm using Twitter Bootstrap 3.3.5. When creating a btn-primary in my html like:
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Button Text</button>
i'm getting a different result as stated on the bootstrap page. I'm talking about the gradient that the button has when I'm using bootstraps button inside my page. When expecting the the element with Chrome's Dev-Console I can see that the gradient comes from the theme.less file and of course I can manipulate it. But shouldn't it be by default like on the bootstrap website?
I found out that removig the
<link href="../../dist/css/bootstrap-theme.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
tag from my html-head helped already.
I've installed bootstrap via bower. Would be nice if one could "opt-out" the theme via config instead of deleting the theme files or the link tag in head manually.

Some Glyphicons displaying as empty boxes Bootstrap 3?

I'm trying to use Glyphicons with Bootstrap 3 and am finding that some of them don't work.
For example, out of these three glyphicons, the first one doesn't work (it shows up as am empty box):
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-bell"></i>
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-cog"></i>
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-ban-circle"></i>
JSFIDDLE: http://jsfiddle.net/WE6BS/
I'm using the CDN versions of the Bootstrap JS, CSS, and Glyphicons, as well as copying code directly from the Glyphicons example page, so what am I doing wrong?
There is most likely an issue with inclusion of Glyphicons on BootstrapCDN 3.0.0 version. When 3.0 was released the glyphicons were in a separate repo, and then combined into the Bootstrap baseline again later around 3.0.1.
The latest 3.0.3 seems to work fine: http://jsfiddle.net/EhwT3/
