I have been struggling to incorporate static files into my project, but the CSS is not loading. I tried using findstatic but Django is unable to locate any static directory: https://i.sstatic.net/jRgzx.png https://i.sstatic.net/7VG0x.png
In a different project, Django is able to find the static folder without any issues: https://i.sstatic.net/IsLlr.png

Here are snippets of my settings.py:
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
This is how my base.html looks like:
{% load static %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset = "utf-8">
<link href = "{% static 'css/base.css' %}" rel = 'stylesheet'>
<title>{% block title %}Educa{% endblock %}</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id = 'header'>
<a href = "/" class = 'logo'>EDUCATION</a>
<ul class = 'menu'>
{% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
<li><a href = "{% url 'logout' %}">Logout</a></li>
{% else %}
<li><a href = "{% url 'login'%}">Login</a></li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
</div id ='content'>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
<script src = 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/
jquery.min.js'></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
{% block domready %}
{% endblock %}
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Any help would be appreciated! Thank you
