[Django]-Static CSS file not loading in Django framework

Okay this change seemed to fix it:

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
    '/static/',
]

index.html should be like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
{% load staticfiles %}
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>My Home Page</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}" />
</head>
<body>
    <p>My Content</p>
</body>
</html>

I was having the same issue because my settings file in Django didn’t have the following lines of code, which I added to solve the problem

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    BASE_DIR / "static",
    '/var/www/static/',
]

see the static files documentation here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.1/howto/static-files/
