For PyCharm users:
{% load crispy_forms_filters %} instead of {% load crispy_forms_tags %} to get rid of Unresolved filter 'crispy' warning.

If the indent doesn't work try refresh your page with Ctrl+F5, then your changes in css file should show up.

I want to add custom styling to my crispy forms(without using bootstrap). How should I do that?

[zahirjacobs]

For those of you wondering how to fix that date selector, I came across a pip package called django-datetime-widget which creates a bootstrap'd date+time selector widget.

Can you please help out?

I'm not finding success here. For some reason, when I inspect the wmd-panel, my base.css changes don't even show up in the styles section. However, when I mouse over a <h1> tag that we also defined in our base.css file, the changes are showing. Any ideas what explains this inconsistency? Also, needless to say, fiddling with the margins in my base.css does nothing.
