Bootstrap is adding more icons than called for in rails

Question

I am trying to add a user icon to my header. bootstrap is adding more icons than what my code calls for, what is going on? Thanks in advance!

<ul class="nav pull-right">
 <% if user_signed_in? %>
   <li><%= link_to "Edit Profile", edit_user_registration_path %></li>
   <li><%= link_to "Logout", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %></li>
 <% else %>
   <li><%= link_to "", new_user_session_path, class: "icon-user" %></li>
 <% end %>
</ul>

Answer 1

I don't have the bootstrap icons in my rails project to test this, but see if this works:

<%= link_to raw("<i class='icon-user'></i>"), new_user_session_path %>
