5 years ago Hi @ivansainz. First of all, thank you for giving this plugin a try and reporting feedback! Very helpful. It's still in a private beta state, and I'm quickly moving toward another release. So there have been major changes on master since the 0.1.0 prototype release. In fact, just this morning, I merged a PR #22 that addresses error handling for that GuzzleHttp client.
So it would be helpful to know which version you had installed when you hit this error, and you might also try building and installing a version from the latest master. You could follow the "Cut a Release" instructions in DEVELOPMENT.md to build a new font-awesome-official.zip that you could try installing instead.
However, you might find that even after doing so, there's still a connection error (the ConnectException in your screenshot). The latest code on master will just will handle that exception gracefully instead of letting the plugin crash. This exception indicates that our FontAwesome_Release_Provider is not able to establish a connection with fontawesome.com to get the releases metadata. It shows that there's a network problem between your WordPress server and fontawesome.com. The only time I've gotten that error is when I'm doing local development and my development machine is not connected to the internet. So you might consider such network factors as well.

I installed this Font Awesome Official WordPress Plugin and keep getting this error that doesn't let me access neither the website nor the administration panel. If I delete the plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins/font-awesome-official) then I can access again to both the website and the administration panel. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't know what is the cause.
Thanks in advance.
