The 525icons css-file and font files are hosted at jsDelivr CDN, so this plugin is fast and lightweight. Find the names of your desired icons at http://525icons.com/glyphs.html. There you may click on any icon to copy its name to the clipboard. The 'ico-' prefix is omitted, as you need only the name for the shortcode.
- Shortcode syntax: [ico iname=""]
- Notice! Write "twitter" if you want "ico-twitter".
- eg. [ico iname="twitter"]
Generated HTML will be:
<i class="ux ico-twitter"></i>
which is the code needed to show the icon on the page.
You may include following optional parameters, which will add inline styles to the HTML code:
[ico isize="?" iborder="?" ibordercol="?" iradius="?" ipadding="?" imargin="?" icolor="?" ibg="?" ivalign="?"]
- isize = font-size (you must add: px, em, rem, pt, %, x-large, large, small etc.)
- iborder = border-size (specified as px, write number only)
- ibordercol = border-color (#HEX, RGB, RGBA, standard web color name, etc.)
- iradius = border-radius (specified as px, write number only)
- ipadding = padding (specified as px, write number only)
- imargin = margin (specified as px, write number only)
- icolor = color (#HEX, RGB, RGBA, standard web color name, etc.)
- ibg = background-color (#HEX, RGB, RGBA, standard web color name, etc.)
- ivalign = vertical-align (specified as %, write number only)
Default values for all selectors are 'empty', except: border-radius='0' and: border-color='black'.
(The shortcode [ico] alone will generate a default icon, which is set to the 'ico-Wordpress'.)
Advanced options:
In addition to the main css file, '525icons.min.css', the plugin utilizes the file 'css/styles.css', where there is a set of classes with standard HTML color names, plus some size classes. The class 'ispin', makes the icon spin infinitely, usable for spin and refresh icons.
About classes and inline styles:
This shortcode: [icon iname="twitter" icolor="darkblue" isize="24px"]
will generate inline styles like:
<i class="ux ico-twitter" style="font-size:24px;color:darkblue"></i>
while this shortcode: [icon iname="twitter darkblue xl"]
will generate following HTML-code, calling up classnames in the css files:
<i class="ux ico-twitter darkblue xl"></i>
If you use additional classes, you must add them after 'name' (must be inside the iname apostrophes - after space). For example, if you want an arrow pointing upwards, use 'rotate90':
[icon iname="circle-arrow rotate90"]
The rotate classes are useful for arrows and mediaplayer icons. Check out: http://525icons.com/examples.html
Take a look at 'css/styles.css' and http://525icons.com/fonts/525icons.css, for more styling options.
Here are some of the available style classes:
Size classes:
- .lg (font-size: 1.33333333em)
- .xl (font-size: 24px)
- .i2x (font-size: 32px)
- .i3x (font-size: 48px)
- .i4x (font-size: 64px)
- .i5x (font-size: 80px)
- .i6x (font-size: 96px)
- .i7x (font-size: 112px)
- .i8x (font-size: 128px)
- .i9x (font-size: 144px)
- .i10x (font-size: 160px)
Border radius (set as px):
- .radius6
- .radius8
- .radius12
- .radius36
Rotate classes:
- .rotate45
- .rotate90
- .rotate135
- .rotate180
- .rotate225

You may choose to write HTML code instead of shortcodes, like this:
<i class="ux ico-twitter i2x blue"></i>
