I'm new to Django, and I'm trying to use static files to color my website. this is my directory hierarchy-

enter image description here

This is the HTML I'm trying to style, by using this code- enter image description here

This is the CSS code I'm using-

enter image description here

This my settings.py-

enter image description here

No matter what I do, or if I refresh or restart the server completely- nothing happens. I've watched so many articles and videos related to this, but I still can't figure out what am I doing wrong...

Would appreciate any help :-)

I usually add a STATICFILES_DIRS in my settings.py and it works

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    BASE_DIR / 'to_excel/static'
]

The way you try to access the static files is correct. But you need to adjust your settings.py:

# djangotemplates/djangotemplates/settings.py

# Static files (CSS, JavaScript, Images)
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/static-files/
import os

STATIC_URL = 'static/'

# Add these new lines
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)

STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'staticfiles')
