TemplatesΒΆ
Django used to search the PROJECT/WEBSITE/templates folder for common templates, it no longer does so and expects a templates folder to reside in the project root, PROJECT/templates.
Should one opt to their templates within the website directory, under PROJECT/WEBSITE/templates, then they should include them within their project settings by assigning the templates[dirs] attribute in the WEBSITE/settings.py file.
TEMPLATES = {...
DIRS = ['website/templates'],
...}
