In the chapter under the heading “Add links to nav to login and logout”, users are told to update base.html that has the load staticfiles up top.
{% load staticfiles %}
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>
{% block title %}
My Hello Web App Project
{% endblock %}
</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/style.css' %}" />
{% block header %}{% endblock %}
</head>
<body>
<header>
<h1>Hello Web App</h1>
<nav>
<ul>
<li><a href="{% url 'home' %}">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="{% url 'about' %}">About</a></li>
<li><a href="{% url 'contact' %}">Contact</a></li>
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<li><a href="{% url 'auth_logout' %}">Logout</a></li>
{% else %}
<li><a href="{% url 'auth_login' %}">Login</a></li>
<li><a href="{% url 'registration_register' %}">Register</a></li>
{% endif %}
</ul>
</nav>
</header>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
{% block footer %} {% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
That’s what mine looks like. Is that what you’re referring too?
Just for measure though, I’m going to share all the relevant files related to this chapter that were updated.

And then there is the login, logout, registration complete, and registration form html pages that were created. If those are needed say the word and I shall share them.
Maybe you could see something in all that code that points to the problem?
