Change the django admin title doesn't work.

The method for changing the base_site has changed many times over the different versions of Django. However, it's actually very easy now to change the site_header, as well as the index_title and site_title. It's much easier than you might think!

In urls.py, you can override these three variables by adding any of the following:

admin.site.site_header = 'My project' (default is 'Django Administration')

admin.site.index_title = 'Features area' (default is 'Site administration')

admin.site.site_title = 'HTML title' (default is 'Django site admin')

Further to Ian's answer, it should be possible for you to repeat the steps exactly from the video and get the same result.

You can see from the current Django source code that the base_site.html template hasn't changed at all since the video was published.

When I added the file to my project (Django 2.1.5) and made the changes demonstrated by Lacey, I got the same result as her.

If you want to be able to recreate the steps using her approach, perhaps you could post your code and maybe we can check if something is subtly different in your code than the example?
