Social icons inconsistently displayed

[nhejazi]

I have been enjoying using the academic theme for over a year now and only recently ran into an issue with the proper displaying of social icons. Rather recently, I updated to v3.0.0+ (currently at v3.2.0), applying all patches sequentially (as best as I can tell) and reading through the release notes, but I've run into a problem with how social icons are displayed on my profile. In particular, my home page now displays only a subset of the full set of social icons (see here); however, the full set appears when I'm listed as the author of a page (for example, here). This behavior appears locally and with my Netlify deploy.

If helpful, based on a quick read, I don't believe this to be related to #264, #710, or #724. I have also updated my FontAwesome codes to use fab and fas as appropriate. Any help in resolving this would be much appreciated. Thanks for the great theme!

I can't immediately see any icon issues on the site you linked. I guess you solved the issue?

Well, not quite. I haven't been able to resolve it. What I was trying to get at was that the two links differ in how they display social icons, and I don't quite understand why. Specifically,

• https://nimahejazi.org/ --- displays 6 social icons below the profile photo but leaves out several icons (in fact, it leaves out anything outside of the ai FontAwesome pack -- i.e., fab and fas)
• https://nimahejazi.org/talk/2018_09-shifts_phdquals/ --- at the bottom of the page displays my information and includes the full set of icons, including those in the fas and fab packs

I'm not entirely sure why the discrepancy exists. The fact that one part of the site displays all icons suggests to me that it's not an issue with installation of FontAwesome5, though it's possible I missed something in the changelog / release notes. Thanks for any help on this.

You appear to have customized the About widget or be overriding the About widget with your own. Try removing all your customizations/overrides until it works, especially for the About widget.

Also, without a link to your code repository, it will be difficult for others to help you with this.

Of course, you're absolutely right. At some point in the past, I added the bit of custom code to show GitHub contributions, which came in the form of an about.html file that I forgot/neglected to update. Getting this in sync with the about.html in v3.2.0 of hugo-academic fixed the problem. Thanks for your help in pointing this out. I completely understand re: the repo --- it's private but it would've been better to make it public (at least temporarily) when creating the issue.
