My Django project is displaying media in templates if debug == True no problem at all but the problem arises when I set debug to False Django fails to load them if debug == False( There are some solutions out there but I am not able to wrap my head around them as I am new to Django ). Can someone please tell me what is the best and easiest way to solve this issue? Note: I want to host my website on my local wifi (not on pythonanywhere or any other web hosting service) Thanks in advance.

It does not fail to load them. Django does not serve media files on production. – Willem Van Onsem Jul 11 '20 at 11:08

For me below method worked:
In urls.py I added this line:
from django.views.static import serve
add those two urls in urlpatterns:
url(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', serve,{'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', serve,{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),
and both static and media files were accesible when DEBUG=FALSE. Hope it helps For more info. , Take a look at Why does DEBUG=False setting make my django Static Files Access fail?

. It worked :-) The media files are being displayed now. I have been searching for a solution and you solved it. Once again thank you :-) – Pinjarla Girish Jul 12 '20 at 13:06
