Go to the Django admin registration directory

/home/username/Desktop/Project_folder/virtual_env_name/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates

Now open the password_reset_form.html and replace the

{% extends "admin/base_site.html" %}

from the template, you want to extend. In my case, I do the following

{% extends "feed/base.html" %}

feed: app name
base.html: base file

You can also make sure that your app comes before all other Django apps in INTALLED_APPS
e.g

INSTALLED_APPS = [
'your_app_name',

'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

replace your_app_name with the name of your app

In your settings.py make sure your TEMPLATES settings is equal to the following

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',

        ],
    },
},]

the most important part here is the DIRS

I struggled with this for hours. I tried rewriting the admin template I thought against it so I didn’t have to rewrite it for every new project.

finally stumbled across the answer on a blog referencing the Django 2.1 docs: “http://discuss.hellowebapp.com/t/django-2-1-changes/618/4“.
The blog explains the changes to path formatting and views syntax.

To override the admin templates for a password reset, the folder structure needs to be following and remember to place the custom templates in templates/registration directory.

├───blog

│   │           password_reset_confirm.html   <------
│   │           password_reset_complete.html  <------

And be sure to name the template as,

password_reset_form.html
password_reset_email.html
password_reset_done.html
password_reset_confirm.html
password_reset_complete.html

And urls.py paths should look like,

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
# and other imports ....

path(
        'password_reset',
        auth_views.PasswordResetView.as_view(template_name='registration/password_reset_form.html'),
        name='password_reset'
    ), 
...

Use custom password reset templates in django 2 with `path()`

Based on @samschultz response:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['path/to/yor/templates/'], # Example: 'templates' or /myapp/templates'...
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

Please, pay attention to >>> ‘DIRS’ <<<.

Hope it helps.

        },
    },

Take note of the directory path inside ‘DIRS’: []…By default, it is empty. Put 'accounts/templates/'. Also the accounts is the name of the app, which I assumed that you used accounts.

After trying all the attempts listed in this thread, I still couldn’t get it to work. However, by replacing my custom urls in my accounts app to the exact link it was displaying in the email; I managed to fix it.

#My original urls link:
'users/password_reset/<uidb64>/<token>/' 

#working link
'users/reset/<uidb64>/<token>/'

Path of templates should be correct else it will not work. Below works for me.

‘DIRS’: [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ‘projects/templates/projects’)],

TEMPLATES = [

{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'projects/templates/projects')],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
