Hi there, looks like your plugin is using icons from Google servers. That´s a problem for websites in Europe/Germany because of privacy regulations (GDPR/DSGVO). Is there a way to host the icon font (in this case “Material Icons Outlined”) locally? Have these icons been stored locally in the past? Looks like this bug was related to this. Regards, Jens If somebody else is looking for a quick fix: You can block the connection to gstatic/Google via htaccess . And you can hide the icon placeholder text via CSS (replace XXXX with your individual code/number): .advgb-infobox-icon-inner-container { display: none;!important } #advgb-infobox-XXXX, .advgb-infobox-XXXX { padding-top: 0px!important; } Hi @jesus-1 We have an update that doesn’t serve the icon from google server. Please try this beta version to see if it helps: https://app.box.com/s/f48yv5rrcatn4vae4lwc6nt26yzhlx5w This problem is now solved in version 3.7.3 .
