[Fixed]-Django Project: namespace 'admin' isn't unique

You are correct in that the error stems from repeating path('admin/', admin.site.urls), in all of your url.py files. It is normally only declared at the root level as others have pointed out.

Think of it like this – You wouldn’t want to have a separate admin interface for each app, rather you would want to be able to manage all of your apps from one admin interface which is exactly what occurs when you have it only in the root urls.py file.

Also, although the apps should be modular and independent they still need to be connected to a project to work.

You are declaring

path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

three times in your urls files. You just have to declare it once in the root urls.py of your project.

Set your main/urls.py as

from django.urls import path
from django.views.generic import TemplateView

urlpatterns = [ 
    path(
        "header/", 
        TemplateView.as_view(template_name="header.html")),
]

And fix this inside the main URLs file teachers/urls.py as follows:

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf import settings


urlpatterns = [
    path(
        'admin/', 
         admin.site.urls), 
    path('', 
         include('main.urls')),
]

it’s because of multiple declarations of that admin path. remove those extra line path(‘admin/’, admin.site.urls) line from urls.py file except the project’s url.py

There is a repetition of an admin path
Search in the files urls.
and delete duplicate path
