Django 2.1: Template structure

Question

I am having trouble with Django routing to find templates located at the app-level. That is, templates at the app-level directory are not rendered unless I put them in the root project-level directory. But the problem with this architecture for me is that, if I have two or more apps all having a file named home.html how do I resolve that from the templates folder at the project-level so that they won't be confliction.

Error message

Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Using engine django:

django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader: C:\Users\HP\Desktop\DEV\PYTHON\DEVELOPMENT\WILLIAM-VINCENT-PROJECT\django-begin\templates\index.html (Source does not exist)

I was expecting Django to search the /templates/posts and /templates/pages folders to fetch the files. It is rather trying to fetch the files directly from the templates folder. If I were to put the HTML files directly into the /templates/ folder then that would conflicts since apps have similar file names

Project directory structure

|__my-project
|__manage.py
|__pages
|__posts
|__templates
   |__pages
   |  |__home.html
   |  |__about.html
   |__posts
      |__home.html
      |__about.html

I want each app to have its own home.html and about.html

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'posts.apps.PostsConfig',
    'pages.apps.PagesConfig',

    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')
        ],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

Your templates need to be saved in the following way:

ProjectName/AppName/Templates/AppName/Template.html

So if your project was called DjangoProject and your app was called DjangoApp it would be: DjangoProject/DjangoApp/Templates/DjangoApp/Template.html

This is the same for any app you start within your project.

EDIT:

Currently you have a templates folder within your project directory. That is wrong.

You need a templates folder for each app within that apps directory.

So my-project/pages/templates/pages and my-project/posts/templates/posts

NOT my-project/templates/
