Django static css is not loading on page
Question
I know there are many posts about this, but I have been unable to resolve my problem (for example following this: Django static files (css) not working ). I can't get my css static file to load on this practice page, css_practice.html.
I have the following structure
djangoAjax
settings.py
...
djangoAjaxApp
static
ok.css
templates
css_practice.html
My settings.py:
import os
from pathlib import Path
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
SECRET_KEY = '############################################'
# SECURITY WARNING: don't run with debug turned on in production!
DEBUG = True

'djangoAjaxApp',

},
},
]
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'djangoAjax.wsgi.application'
DATABASES = {

}
}
AUTH_PASSWORD_VALIDATORS = [

my html page:
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load static %}
<html>
<head>
{% comment %} https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=django+static+css&docid=608004894969656896&mid=E118E7C4ADFE161B3B12E118E7C4ADFE161B3B12&view=detail&FORM=VIRE {% endcomment %}
{% load static %}
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href"{% static 'djangoAjaxApp\static\ok.css' %}">
<title>Page Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1 class="ok">My First Heading</h1>
<p>My first paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>
views.py:
# css practice
def cssRender(request):
return render(request, "css_practice.html")
urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from .views import cssRender
urlpatterns = [
path('css/', cssRender, name='cssRender'),
]
I imagine I might be messing up the folder structure somehow... there is also a reference in the django docs: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.2/howto/static-files/
about adding
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
But since I am using, django.contrib.staticfiles in settings, I'm assuming this is done automatically.
Currently the page loads, but css is not applied.
Thanks for your help

Could you please try it.
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
if settings.DEBUG:
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

Just to remind you of it, have you tried hard refresh on your browser? I used to miss this when I was a beginner. (You can do it in chrome with ctrl+shift+r).

settting.py: STATIC_URL = '/static/'
Only one {% load static %} is enough in your html code:
<!DOCTYPE html> {% load static %}
You have to Copy and Plast your STATIC files (Js, CSS, ...) in each App with templates(html) that you created. It will look like that:
djangoAjaxApp |_migrations |_templates | |_djangoAjaxApp | |_css_practice.html |_static |___djangoAjaxApp (directory with the same App name) |_(here all your static file)
Your HTML will look like this:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href"{% static 'djangoAjaxApp\ok.css' %}">
views.py:
# css practice
def cssRender(request):
return render(request, "djangoAjaxApp/css_practice.html")
urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.cssRender, name='cssRender'),
]
djangoAjax urls.py:
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
urlpatterns = [
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
