✅

LeaveSTATIC_ROOT empty.

Add this in STATICFILES_DIRS:

os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'static/')

Make sure the upper code contains: /project_root/project/static

In urls.py remove these useless lines:

+ static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()

Run ./manage.py collectstatic

Should work.

Edit:

Since you have already done {% load static %} you don’t need to do {{ STATIC_URL }}/..

{% load staticfiles %}
<img src="{% static "my_app/myexample.jpg" %}" alt="My image"/>

will work.

Please note this answer doesn’t apply if you are using the internal django development server.

Have you added an alias for /static/ in your Apache setup? If not, any calls to that folder will result in a 404 error, meaning your CSS won’t load. Here is an example of what I mean:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.example.com
    WSGIScriptAlias / "/path/to/project/project/wsgi.py"

    DocumentRoot "/path/to/project"
    <Directory "/path/to/project">
        <Files wsgi.py>
            Order deny,allow
            Allow from all
        </Files>
    </Directory>

    Alias /media/ "/path/to/project/media/"
    <Directory "/path/to/project/media/">
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>

    Alias /static/ "/path/to/project/static/"
    <Directory "/path/to/project/static/">
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
