I was trying the cms tutorial with Mr. Pine Cone. It uses Font Awesome 4, but to make icons selectable you seem to need Font Awesome 5 icon box selected as in this image:

The icon selection then doesn’t work correctly, it seems, if you use any other icon font other than Font Awesome 5.

Try to change the icon, and icons from the wrong font or empty rectangles are displayed as your choices.

It’s fascinating how a simple switch from Font Awesome 4 to 5 not only enhances design but also impacts functionality.
