title: Django cannot find all my files in static files
body: <p>I'm totally fresh to Django. I downloaded a template that presents a well-structured web page. But after I put all the template files in the static dir, it didn't show any images or run any js/CSS files.
  Here is my dir:<a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IenJV.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/IenJV.png" alt="**enter image description here**"></a></p>
  
  <p>Here is my settings.py:</p>
  
  <pre><code>INSTALLED_APPS = [
  'django.contrib.admin',
  'django.contrib.auth',
  'django.contrib.contenttypes',
  'django.contrib.sessions',
  'django.contrib.messages',
  'django.contrib.staticfiles']
  
  
  # URL prefix for static files
  STATIC_URL = '/static/'
  
  # Absolute path to the directory in which static files should be collected
  STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'root')
  
  # Additional locations for static files (optional)
  STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static'),]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what I got at terminal:</p>
