Bootstrap 4 navbar toggler not showing

Question

This is my first attempt with Bootstrap 4 beta. I have a charity group website I made up and running in BS3 now. I am using a fixed top navbar and custom CSS. When the site is viewed smaller, not full screen, the toggle icon doesn't show up. Can you help me? I want it to be white like the nav links, and hover changes the link to read. This is the head links

<!-- Custom styles for this template -->
<link href="css/custombs4.css" rel="stylesheet"> `

the js codes are linked at the bottom of the page

Here is my code.

/* Navbar */

.navbar-custom {
    background-color: #3193de;
}


/* change the brand and text color */

.navbar-custom .navbar-brand,
.navbar-custom .navbar-text {
    text-decoration: none; color: #fff;
}


/* change the link color */

.navbar-custom .navbar-nav .nav-link {
   text-decoration: none; color: #fff;
}


/* change the color of active or hovered links */

.navbar-custom .nav-item.active .nav-link,
.navbar-custom  {
  text-decoration: none;  color: #fff;
}

.nav-item .nav-link:hover {
    text-decoration: none; color: #ff0000;
}

/* for dropdown only - change the color of dropdown */

.navbar-custom .dropdown-menu {
    background-color: #3193de;
}

.navbar-custom .dropdown-item {
    text-decoration: none; color: #fff;
}

.navbar-custom .dropdown-item:hover,
.navbar-custom .dropdown-item:focus {
    text-decoration: none; color: #ff0000;
    background-color:#3193de;
}
.navbar-header .navbar-toggler {
  border: 0;
}
.navbar-toggler-icon {

}
.navbar-toggler-icon:hover {
  background: #ff0000;
}

@mlegg, your toggler icon isn't toggling as a result of the id attribute not having the same value as the data-toggler attribute on your button. The code below shows what it should be.

<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarCollapse" aria-controls="navbarCollapse" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
        <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>


<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarCollapse">

As for the styling of the toggle icon, you can with the following code:

.navbar-toggler-icon {
        background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf8,%3Csvg viewBox='0 0 32 32' xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%3E%3Cpath stroke='rgba(255,255,255, 1)' stroke-width='2' stroke-linecap='round' stroke-miterlimit='10' d='M4 8h24M4 16h24M4 24h24'/%3E%3C/svg%3E");
}

For a thorough understanding of what's happening here, checkout @ZimSystem's answer in this stack overflow question. Ultimately, you have to set the value of the stroke property in the URL of the background-image like so:

stroke='rgba(255,255,255, 1)'
