Django not importing CSS

I cannot get the CSS to appear when I refresh the page nor when I turn the server off and then restart it. 

{% load staticfiles %}

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html dir="ltr" lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <meta name='viewpoint' content='width-device-width, initial-scale-1.0'>
  <meta http-equix='X-UA-Compatible' content='ie-edge'>
  <link rel="stylesheet" type='text/css' href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/materialize/1.0.0-rc.2/css/materialize.min.css"/>
  <link ref="stylesheet" type='text/css' href="{% static 'css/styles.css' %}" />

My settings.py file has STATIC_URL = '/static/'

I'm not sure what else it could be. I've attempted several other stackoverflow questions but I'm out of ideas.

Any help is appreciated.

Solution

  • in setting.py file your set DEBUG=True, please update url.py file root (url.py project)

    from django.conf.urls import url 
from django.conf import settings 
from django.conf.urls.static import static 
urlpatterns = [  
  #url pattern..... 
]
if settings.DEBUG:
   urlpatterns += static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)
   urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

    and than if DEBUG=False ALLOWED_HOSTS=['your_host'], please running command ./manage.py collectstatic from the terminal
