Error Django TemplateSyntaxError - staticfiles is not a registered tag library

Question

After upgrading to Django 3.0, I get the following TemplateSyntaxError:

In template /Users/alasdair//myproject/myapp/templates/index.html, error at line 1
'staticfiles' is not a registered tag library. Must be one of: admin_list admin_modify admin_urls cache i18n l10n log static tz

Here is my template

{% load staticfiles %}
<img src="{% static 'my_image.html' %}">

How to fix this?

Hello @kartik,

Try {% load static %} instead of {% load staticfiles %}

If effect of CSS or any other files doesn't reflect in your template then also write following lines in the end of your settings.py file

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
VENV_PATH = os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR)
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(VENV_PATH, 'static_root')

Hope this helps!!

Thank You!!
