Python Django does not see the CSS file
I just started using Django, which I initially had a lot of problems with, but that's not the point. I launched a new project about 4 times, it turned out that through the console it did not create a complete list of folders and files and I had to create them manually. I created and added an init file everywhere so that Python sees this folder, however, when I need to insert a Banner photo for my profile, when I start the server through the console and the python manage.py runserver command, although it launches my entire HTML structure, it does not display the photo , which I inserted there initially.
I tried to change the location of the folders, I tried to change the location of the photos and it didn’t bring much results. Also, I changed settings.py and urls several times, but this also did not change anything, perhaps I made a mistake in the code or missed something?

</html>Maybe I'm wrong and I need to add a variable there at the {{ user.banner }} level, as stated above, but I'm not sure if this will help. This is a piece of code that may cause problems.
