Hi there,

I think I am probably missing something quite simple here, but I am wanting to make an edit to the djago admin base.html file. Where I am able to find this having set-up my django up on python anywhere?… I have all my static files relating to admin in the static/admin/... having run python manage.py collectstatic but am looking to make changed to the base.html also.

Many Thanks!

Does not seem to work on my code. I've spent a couple of hours figuring this out, the same thing is working on my local machine. Please go through my code, if required.

Cool. Glad you worked it out.
