Solution

  • Did you set the TEMPLATES in your settings.py? Check and set the TEMPLATES.DIR setting to your folder path:

    TEMPLATES = {
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
    }
    

    Moreover, you can move the templates folder inside the cms folder. In this case, be sure that TEMPLATES.APP_DIRS is set to True.

    cms
    +- cms/
     +- templates/
      +- flatpages/
       +- default.html
     +- views.py
     +- other django stuff...
    +- db.sqlite3
    

    You can find more information in the official documentation: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/topics/templates/#configuration
