when i click on the little bars on the right nothing will happens. if i use the cdn of bootstrap everything will work fine.

what am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

From your browser console, we can identify there is a problem with your bootstrap bundle. So, this is not related to the django.

You can fix the issue by adding this before bootstrap.min.js :

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.12.6/popper.min.js"></script>

Answer 2

Loading jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js first then popper.min.js and then finally bootstrap.min.js .

Reordering them worked for me

<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'bootstrap-4.5.3/js/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js'%} "></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'bootstrap-4.5.3/js/popper.min.js'%}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{% static 'bootstrap-4.5.3/js/bootstrap.min.js'%} "></script>
