    MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
    STATIC_URL = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "static_in_env", "static-only/")
    STATIC_ROOT  = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
    MEDIA_URL = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "static_in_env", "media/")
    STATICFILES_DIR = ( os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "static_in_env", "static/"), )

Here is the project structure:

Couple things -

• When posting code, the code needs to be surrounded by backticks - `, not apostrophes ('). I’ve taken the liberty of fixing your original post for this.
• I’m looking for the requests and responses from the console where you’re running runserver, not the information in your browser’s console. (Copy / paste as text and not as an image)
• We need to see the contents of your static directory - again, post the text of a directory listing, not a screen image.

What is your current setting for DEBUG?

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your help

I have my DEBUG set to True

This is what display on the console:

GET /Users/alexalvarez/Documents/Flask_Project/HoneySite/static/static-only/css/main.css HTTP/1.1" 404 1891

For the structure:
static
-admin
-static
–css
—main.css
–js
-static-only
–css
—main.css
–js

Your STATIC_URL should not include the full “real” path for the file.
It’s just the prefix that is added to the root url, so it should be something like ‘static/’
