Django-Registration-Redux doesn't see my templates/registration templates

Question

I am using Django 1.10. Technically this post is regarding Django-registration-redux but SO wouldnt let me create a new tag to post the question. Django-registration-redux doesnt see the registration templates. I copied all the templates into a folder called "registration" inside of my templates folder. I dont get an error though. For example, when I go to /accounts/register it renders some form but it isn't the one from my templates/register folder. Im not sure what I am doing wrong. I have even gone as far as to delete the templates/registration folder entirely and I dont even get an error. I read some similar posts where people had to move the registration to the top of the installed apps so it wouldnt use the admin forms which I tried and didnt help. So far nothing has changed. All the templates do extend base.

So Im guessing I have configured something wrong. It's weird. All the functionality is there but its just not using my templates. Sorry if its a dumb question but I would appreciate some help!

Here is my /templates/registration/registration_form.html

{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load i18n %}
{% load crispy_forms_tags %}

{% block content %}
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3'>
<h1>Register for free!</h1>
<form method="post" action=".">
  {% csrf_token %}
  {{ form|crispy }}

  <input class='btn btn-block btn-primary' type="submit" value="{% trans 'Join' %}" />
</form>
</div>
</div>

<hr/>
<div class='row'>
<div class='col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3 text-align-center'>
<p>Need to <a href="{% url 'auth_login' %}">Login</a>?</p>
</div>
</div>

{% endblock %}

this is a screenshot showing the form I see at accounts/register

In settings.py you have to place your app above the 'registration' app. It seems the order the apps are listed in the settings.py file determines which templates are being used.
