Be advised that as of Django 1.8, this has changed to a "TEMPLATES" setting, and in the default configuration, the request processor is NOT included.

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [
        # insert your TEMPLATE_DIRS here
    ],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            # Insert your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS here or use this
            # list if you haven't customized them:
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
            'django.template.context_processors.media',
            'django.template.context_processors.static',
            'django.template.context_processors.tz',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
    },
},]

Just add the request processor back in to fix the issue:

'django.core.context_processors.request',
