Django TemplateSyntaxError - 'staticfiles' is not a registered tag library


If you have any of the following tags in your template:

{% load staticfiles %}{% load static from staticfiles %}{% load admin_static %}

Then replace it with:

{% load static %}

You have to make this change because {% load staticfiles %} and {% load admin_static %} were deprecated in Django 2.1, and removed in Django 3.0.


  • 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')


This worked for me using django 3.1.4.

{% load static %}<link rel"stylesheet" href = "{% static 'style.css' %}">
