Django TemplateSyntaxError - 'staticfiles' is not a registered tag library

Question

After upgrading to Django 3.0, I get the following TemplateSyntaxError :

In template /Users/alasdair//myproject/myapp/templates/index.html, error at line 1
'staticfiles' is not a registered tag library. Must be one of: admin_list admin_modify admin_urls cache i18n l10n log static tz

Here is my template

{% load staticfiles %}
<img src="{% static 'my_image.html' %}">

Answer 1

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 .

Answer 2

• 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.
