Answer 1

Try adding the line admin.autodiscover() to your main urls.py, making sure to do from django.contrib import admin first.

Answer 2

Found this info useful in this context.

So simply replace django.contrib.admin with django.contrib.admin.apps.SimpleAdminConfig in installed apps.

from adminplus.sites import AdminSitePlus

#Add this line.  
admin.site = AdminSitePlus()
admin.autodiscover()  # automatic autodiscover should be turned off in settings

Answer 3

Have you created admin.py files for all your apps, registered the models, and called admin.site.register() in urls.py?

Answer 4

I had this problem happen upgrading from Django 1.6 -> 1.8. The solution for me turned out to be simply removing admin.site = AdminSitePlus() from the top of my urls.py. So, this:

admin.site = AdminSitePlus()
admin.autodiscover()

became this:

admin.autodiscover()
