on elementor builder section like above but on page its showing big icons and showing dots
Assistant
The issue you described typically occurs when the frontend is not loading the correct icons (likely Font Awesome or Elementor's built-in icons). The dots and large icons suggest that the icon styles are not properly applied. Here's how you can troubleshoot and resolve this:

### Steps to Fix the Issue:

1. **Ensure Correct Icon Library Loading:**
– Go to Elementor > Settings > Advanced in your WordPress admin.
– Check if **Load Font Awesome 4 Support** and **Load Font Awesome 5 Pro** (if you're using Pro) are enabled.
– Save changes and clear the cache.

2. **Check CSS and JavaScript Files:**
– Ensure all CSS files related to Elementor and your theme are loading properly.
– Use browser developer tools (e.g., Chrome DevTools) to inspect the icons. Look for any 404 errors in the console for missing CSS files.

3. **Clear Cache:**
– If you're using caching plugins like W3Speedster or WP Super Cache, clear the cache.
– Also, clear the browser cache and reload the page.

4. **Ensure No Conflicts with Custom Code or Plugins:**
– Disable other plugins temporarily to see if there's a conflict with Elementor.
– Check any custom CSS/JavaScript in your theme that might override the styles.

5. **Add Missing CSS if Required:**
– Add the following CSS in Elementor's custom CSS or your theme's style file to ensure icons are properly displayed:

i.ei, i.fa, i.fas, i.far, i.fal, i.fab {
         font-family: "Font Awesome 5 Free";
         font-weight: 900;
     }
     .elementor-widget-container .fa {
         font-size: inherit;
     }

6. **Regenerate CSS Files in Elementor:**
– Go to Elementor > Tools > Regenerate CSS & Data.
– Save changes and refresh the page.

7. **Update Elementor and Theme:**
– Ensure Elementor, Elementor Pro (if applicable), and your theme are up to date. Outdated versions may have compatibility issues.

8. **Inspect Icon Sizes:**
– Ensure the icon size set in the Elementor widget matches the intended design. Adjust it in the widget settings under **Style > Icon**.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, let me know, and I can help you further debug the problem.

The issue you're facing seems to be related to icon scaling or styling being overridden in the frontend. The large icons indicate that some CSS is misaligned or missing. Here's how you can address it:

—

### **1. Check the Elementor Icon Widget Settings**
– Go to the specific widget in the Elementor editor.
– Check the **Style > Icon** section to see if:
– The size is set correctly (reduce it if it's set to a large value).
– There’s any margin/padding causing unexpected spacing.
– Save the changes and refresh the page.

—

### **2. Adjust Custom CSS**
Add the following custom CSS to either Elementor's custom CSS area or your theme:

.elementor-widget i,
   .elementor-widget svg {
       font-size: 20px !important; /* Adjust size as needed */
       width: auto !important;
       height: auto !important;
   }
   
   .elementor-widget-container {
       line-height: normal !important;
   }

   .elementor-icon-box-wrapper i {
       display: inline-block !important;
   }

—

### **3. Ensure Font Awesome is Loaded**
– Go to **Elementor > Settings > Advanced**.
– Verify that Font Awesome is enabled:
– **Load Font Awesome 4 Support:** Enabled.
– **Load Font Awesome 5 Pro:** Enabled if you're using Pro.

—

### **4. Inspect Frontend Using Developer Tools**
– Open the browser’s Developer Tools (Right-click > Inspect).
– Check the computed styles for the icon (`i`, `svg`, or relevant classes).
– Look for CSS rules affecting the size (`font-size`, `width`, `height`) and overriding Elementor's default styles.
– If conflicting styles are found, identify the source (theme or plugin).

—

### **5. Disable Conflicting Plugins**
– Temporarily disable other plugins (e.g., caching, custom styling, or third-party builders) that might interfere with Elementor's styling.
– Check if the issue resolves after disabling plugins. If so, re-enable them one by one to identify the culprit.

—

### **6. Regenerate Elementor Files**
– Go to **Elementor > Tools > Regenerate CSS & Data**.
– Save changes, clear your browser cache, and reload the page.

—

### **7. Check Theme Styles**
– If you’re using a custom or child theme, ensure it doesn’t override Elementor’s styles. Add this CSS as a fallback:

.elementor-widget i,
     .elementor-widget svg {
         font-size: inherit !important;
     }

—

### **8. Test Default Theme**
Switch to a default theme like Twenty Twenty-Four to check if the issue persists. If not, the problem lies in your current theme.

svg size showing 470X422 even i set size 18
Assistant
The issue where your SVG icons are displayed at a large size (470×422) instead of the intended size (18×18) likely stems from one of the following problems:

1. **Inline SVG Styles Overriding CSS**
The inline `width` and `height` attributes of the SVG might be hardcoded, overriding the size you set in Elementor.

2. **Default or Inherited Styles**
CSS from your theme or a plugin might be overriding the Elementor settings for the icon's size.

—

### Steps to Fix the SVG Size Issue:

#### 1. **Force SVG Size with CSS**
Add the following CSS to your Elementor widget or theme's custom CSS section:

.elementor-widget svg {
       width: 18px !important; /* Replace with your desired size */
       height: 18px !important; /* Match width for a square aspect ratio */
   }

—

#### 2. **Inspect the Element with Developer Tools**
Use browser developer tools (Right-click > Inspect) to:
– Locate the “ element.
– Check for inline `width` and `height` attributes or inherited styles that are setting the size to 470×422.
– If inline attributes exist, they might be coming from the icon's source (e.g., Elementor or your theme).

—

#### 3. **Override Inline Styles with `!important`**
If the SVG element has inline styles like `width="470" height="422"`, you can override them with this CSS:

.elementor-widget svg {
       width: 18px !important;
       height: 18px !important;
   }

—

#### 4. **Check Elementor Icon Widget Settings**
– Ensure that:
– **Icon Size** is set to `18px` in the Elementor editor.
– Padding and margins are not adding unexpected spacing.

—

#### 5. **Regenerate Elementor CSS**
– Go to **Elementor > Tools > Regenerate CSS & Data**.
– Clear your browser cache and reload the page.

—

#### 6. **Use the Correct Icon Library**
If you're using Font Awesome, ensure that the icons are being rendered correctly:
– Go to **Elementor > Settings > Advanced** and enable **Load Font Awesome 4 Support** if necessary.
– Save changes and test again.

—

#### 7. **Force Aspect Ratio for SVGs**
Sometimes, SVGs don’t scale properly because their `viewBox` or aspect ratio isn’t defined. Add this CSS:

.elementor-widget svg {
       width: 18px !important;
       height: auto !important; /* Preserve aspect ratio */
   }

—

#### 8. **Temporarily Switch to Default Theme**
– Test the page using a default theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) to rule out conflicts with your current theme.

—

#### 9. **Check for Plugin Conflicts**
– Disable other plugins temporarily and test if the SVG icons resize correctly. If they do, one of the plugins is causing the conflict.

—

#### 10. **Manually Set SVG Attributes (If Necessary)**
If all else fails and you have control over the SVG source, you can manually adjust the `width` and `height` attributes within the SVG code itself.
