Debug Toolbar: 'djdt' is not a registered namespace

Hi,

I'm running the python files on a local server. But when I try to run manage.py, I get the following errors. How do I fix?

I tried this

https://github.com/bernardopires/django-tenant-schemas/issues/222

from . import settings

if settings.DEBUG:
    import debug_toolbar

    urlpatterns += patterns(
        '',
        url(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
    )

TRACEBACK AFTER ADDING settings.DEBUG

Woow took me hours to get it running on mine, but try this out. am using Django version is 1.11.5 this is what i did at my settings.py 

#KenethLove's setup
DEBUG_TOOLBAR_CONFIG = {
    'SHOW_TOOLBAR_CALLBACK': lambda x: True
}

DEBUG_TOOLBAR_PATCH_SETTINGS = False

finally at my url.py i used this code

if settings.DEBUG:
    import debug_toolbar
    urlpatterns += [
        url(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
    ]

i have tried this but it didn't worked for me check it out though. but the above settings should work. don't forget also, to set DEBUG = True

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls import include, patterns, url

if settings.DEBUG:
    import debug_toolbar

    urlpatterns += patterns(
        '',
        url(r'^__debug__/', include(debug_toolbar.urls)),
    )

Thanks Gerard Nwazk for allowing the community to see this solution. I was having trouble getting the toolbar to show up as well. The first two code snippets were what solved my troubles. I am running django 1.11.7. It seems like the later 1.11 versions of django are interfering with the debug toolbar for some reason.
