app not showing in django admin site

Question

i am trying to add app in django admin site, but the app is not showing, i have searched other questions for answer but they are almost 7 years old and it's all becoming very confusing, can someone help me please.

In settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'myapp',
]

Following is the code in project's urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

Answer 1

Make sure you add

from django.contrib import admin
from mymodel.models import mymodel

admin.site.register(mymodel)

To

myapp/admin.py

Answer 2

You should register your myapp 's models in myapp/admin.py :

from django.contrib import admin

from .models import MyModel


admin.site.register(MyModel)

Now it should appear when you visit /admin .

Answer 3

Place this code inside your app's admin.py file. Replace myapp with your app name and Author with your model name.

from django.contrib import admin
from myapp.models import Author

admin.site.register(Author)
