Folder structure is like this:
project folder
/static
/style.css
CSS contains a simple color change and it is not working.
I've tried linking the css file in different ways and nothing seems to be working. I don't know how or why but sometimes it suddenly works and then suddenly stops working.
CodePudding user response:
add this to theand add this to the base(urls.py)
urlpatterns = static(settings.STATIC_URL , document_root=settings.STATICFILES_DIRS)
change STATICFILES_DIRS= BASE_DIR, 'static' to STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static')
CodePudding user response:
Instead of this:
STATIC_URL = 'static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = BASE_DIR, 'static'
Try this:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
