Django - Loading Images From Folders Within Media Folder

I'm having an issue where I can't load images from anywhere but my media folder.

For example:

<img src="media/image.png" />

will load just fine

however if i move the "image.png" file 1 more folder deeper to: 

<img src="media/folder/image.png" />

"image.png" will not load.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

If not in production then perhaps this would be helpful: https://stackoverflow.com/a/52672594/1953366

It worked for me. You can use "/" for PATH to directly map the files. Folder hierarchy is not exposed though.

You need to use django staticfiles module. 'Static' figures out where your files are placed and redirects all requests to this folder

Assuming that your image.png is located in you/yourapp/static/media/folder the following should do.

{% load  static %}
<img src="{% static 'media/folder/image.png' %}" />

Read the docs about serving static files with django.
