Django — Can't get static CSS files to load

Question

Here are the relevant entries

Answer 1

See if your main application (where the static directory is located) is included in your INSTALLED_APPS.

Files are searched by using the enabled finders. The default is to look in all locations defined in STATICFILES_DIRS and in the 'static' directory of apps specified by the INSTALLED_APPS setting.
