To fix this for now, I downloaded the zip file from fontawesome and extracted the following files to my static directory: css/fontawesome.min.css css/solid.min.css css/brands.min.css webfont/*

Manually referenced the css files in my base.html

Hi, sorry for the late reply. So you already fixed it, didn't you?

[Laenka-Oss]

Hi Yes, I can agree it worked. I had same problem, followed the suggested solution & now it works. As shown here. I am using Django 3.0

[danirus]

Thanks for your support @yozoranoken. It can also be fixed adding a link element to the head of the base.html template of your project:

<link 
  rel="stylesheet" 
  href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.3.1/css/all.css" 
  integrity="sha384-mzrmE5qonljUremFsqc01SB46JvROS7bZs3IO2EmfFsd15uHvIt+Y8vEf7N7fWAU" 
  crossorigin="anonymous"
>

I consider it a bug as I forgot to add it in the tutorial. It should be part of the base.html template of the tutorial.

I will fix it in the next release. Thanks for the report @akamg. Sorry again for the late response.
