i3blocks/bar doesnt display correctly

Hey,
i just tried using i3blocks to display the tiles in my bar in i3. Earlier i tried using i3status, but both won't display their tiles correctly.
This my bar config in my i3 config:

bar {
        position top
        status_command i3blocks

        colors {
        background #2f343f
        statusline #2f343f
        separator #4b5262

		# colour of border, background, and text
        focused_workspace	#2f343f	#bf616a	#d8dee8
        active_workspace	#2f343f	#2f343f	#d8dee8
        inactive_workspace	#2f343f	#2f343f	#d8dee8
        urgent_workspace	#2f343f	#ebcb8b	#2f343f
     }
        font xft:InconsolataGo Nerd Font, FontAwesome 12

}

This my i3blocks config file:

separator_block_width=15
markup=none

[memory]
command=~/.config/i3blocks/memory/memory
label=MEM
interval=30

[battery2]
command=~/.config/i3blocks/battery2/battery2
markup=pango
interval=30

[calendar]
command=~/.config/i3blocks/calendar/calendar
interval=1
LABEL= 
DATEFMT=+%H:%M:%S
# SHORTFMT=+%H:%M:%S
HEIGHT=180
WIDTH=220

and this is what it looks like:

calling i3blocks in terminal returns:

MEM2.8G/14.5G (19%) <span font='FontAwesome'></span> <span color="#FFFFFF">100%</span>  22:45:10 

which is correct as i would say, so i dont see why it couldnt display everything

Thanks for every input

Re: i3blocks/bar doesnt display correctly

Looks to me like your config file is not being used. Did you follow https://github.com/vivien/i3blocks#getting-started ?
