In the issue is in a dev/test/prod server and using Nginx, please follow the below steps.

• set the configs in settings.py as something below

  STATIC_URL = '/static/'
  
  BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
  STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
  

• Run the below command to create css and js files in static folder

  $ python manage.py collectstatic
  

• config in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example (Nginx) to serve static files

  location /static/ {
          alias /project/root/folder/static/;
  }
