I'm trying to load in bootstrap into my html page but I get a 404 status code in the network tab in the developers tools saying that it could not find the file the request url is

in my settings.py file

STATIC_URL = 'static/'

STATICFILES_DIR = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]

#edit wasn't included before in question
DEBUG = TRUE

Do I need to have a static folder in every folder instead of just having it in the root?

CodePudding user response：

Kindly update your settings.py

You are using this: STATICFILES_DIR = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]

Try this one, it should work!

STATICFILES_DIRS = ( os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'), )
