hi, did you load the templatetags using {% load fontawesome %} ?

[niranjrajasekaran]

yes i have done it, i have declared {% load fontawesome %} in master and i extended the file in another file, then in the extended block i have used {% fontawesome_icon 'user' %}

[niranjrajasekaran]

I am using django 1.7

[redouane]

well, you need to load it in the child template, not the base one

[niranjrajasekaran]

Thanks @redouane it worked :)
