You need to set your static in settings.py and I am giving you simplest idea you can implement with no issues.
STATIC_URL = '/static/' STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'static-only') MEDIA_URL = '/media/' MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'media') STATICFILES_DIRS = [ os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'static'), ] Now in your project source folder create a new folder named 'static' which will refer to values in blue. In your 'static' in blue folder create subfolders with names 'media', static-only', 'templates' and 'static' again. So hierarchy should look like this: static ----static ----media ----static-only ----templates In your settings.py in "TEMPLATE" section find simalr line like below and change it as I did. 'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static', 'templates')], Now go to your terminal (command shell) and run following command. ./manage.py collectstatic It will ask you are you sure you want to do this. Type "yes" and press enter. .manage.py runserver and refresh your page. You will get all the css loaded. Furthermore you can create three new folders in your /static/static/. static ----static | -------css | -------js | -------images ----media ----static-only ----templates In your static/static folder you can keep the project template related css/js/images. All your html based code will go to /static/templates folder. Read the link below thorough and in case of issues you can post another question or to same thread. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/static-files/ Regards, Mudassar On Mon, Aug 8, 2016 at 1:58 AM, Timothy Steele <steeletimothy2...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Monday, August 8, 2016 at 1:16:57 AM UTC+1, Timothy Steele wrote: >> >> Please any time i try to load my Django admin panel the default CSS files >> does not load and even i have to refresh several time before i can the css >> file will load, and even if i log in still the interface become different, >> it does not load the CSS files.
