Can you make sure the theme component version you have is updated and that you are also running one of the most up to date Discourse versions?

I just tested it and it works if you remove the far and fa from the icon names (ie: comments, question-circle, user-plus).

oh! good insight.

I changed one from fa-user-plus to just user-plus and that one now shows up.

Clearly a bug then. A recent/latest release changed this behavior. The comment/instructions next to icon fields needs to be updated, or the behavior fixed to take proper fa-foo-bar style of specifying Font Awesome icons…

Yea the icon field descriptions may need to be updated for clarity. @awesomerobot :slight_smile:

Use font awesome or a link to an image for the icon at the top of the columns. Accepted font awesome formats: fa-icon , far fa-icon or fab fa-icon . Click Here to view the list of available icons.

Sorry for the trouble with this, looks like I missed the icon name converter we had in place when I was making updates. I’ll get that added back and also update the setting description (FIX: add icon converter back, update setting by awesomerobot · Pull Request #20 · discourse/discourse-versatile-banner · GitHub). The old icon names will work again after the update, but as discovered, removing the prefixes will work for now (and will also continue working after the update is merged).
