TEMPLATE_DIRS deprecated¶

This setting is deprecated since Django version 1.8. Set the DIRS option of a [DjangoTemplates backend](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/templates/#module-django.template.backends.django) instead.

Deprecated feature¶

Deprecated TEMPLATE_DIRS setting used.

""" settings.py """

TEMPLATE_DIRS = [
    "path/to/my/templates",
]

Migration path¶

As of Django 1.8 you should set DIRS option within TEMPLATES setting. It defines where the engine should look for template source files, in search order.

""" settings.py """

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'DIRS': '/path/to/my/templates',
    },
]
