✅

If you have any of the following tags in your template:

{% load staticfiles %}
{% load static from staticfiles %}
{% load admin_static %}

Then replace it with:

{% load static %}

You have to make this change because {% load staticfiles %} and {% load admin_static %} were deprecated in Django 2.1, and removed in Django 3.0.

  • Try {% load static %} instead of {% load staticfiles %}
  • If effect of CSS or any other files doesn’t reflect in your template then also write following lines in the end of your settings.py file
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
VENV_PATH = os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(VENV_PATH, 'static_root')

My issue was in step 4 from documentation here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/howto/static-files/

"4. Store your static files in a folder called static in your app. For example my_app/static/my_app/example.jpg."

Once I had corrected my directory structure to match everything worked.

I encountered the same problem and attempted to resolve it using various methods. However, I eventually modified the next line of code where I referenced my CSS file. The solution is identical to the one mentioned above, but with an additional step.

   {% load staticfiles %}  
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}"/>

changed with :

   {% load static %}
<link href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}" rel="stylesheet">
