    Hi I would like to change the icon that always appears next to “Favorite” to something else. How would I do this? Where would I find the code that performs this action?

    Hi,

    you can do all that with CSS using the pseudo element ::before.

    1st you’ll need to hide the heart: 

    

    .fa.fa-heart {
    display: none;
}
    

    2nd you need to add whatever icon you wish (in this example I add the thumb-up):
    

    

    .geodir-addtofav-icon::before {
    content: "f164";
    font-family: FontAwesome;
}
    

    You want to add this css in GeoDirectory >> Design >> Scripts >> CSS.
    

    Each icon has it’s own unicode : http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/cheatsheet/
    

    You’d use the last for digits with a backslash in front. 
    

    For the example above, the unicode for the thumbs up would be :&#xf164
    

    We used : f164.
    

    Let us know how you went.
    

    Thanks

    Hi-
    

    First Thank you for your hard work.  This clears some confusion for me on how wp and considerate theme/plugin devs implement and expose customization capability to users.
    

    It worked great as is….halfway.  What I experience is thumbsUp icon next to string: “Favorite” (great), But when I select/click it, the icon becomes invisible and I see string: “Unfavorite”.  
    

    The standard heart implementation shows a heart filled red when favorite, and just a dimmed outline of a heart when unfavorite.  What’s best way to handle the appearance of the icon, when action is toggled on/off?  Say I want to change the fill color, or just outline, or even use a different icon, like a thumbsdown “f165”?
    

    And is there a good list of all the gd classes (such as: .geodir-addtofav-icon)?

    You will have to use something like
    

    

    .geodir-removetofav-icon::before {
    content: "f164";
    font-family: FontAwesome;
}
    

    This will assist with finding the right code: https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customizing-your-style/
