Trying to minimally access the model
from articles.models import Article, Comment
Error - Model class articles.models.Article doesn't declare an explicit app_label and isn't in an application in INSTALLED_APPS.
The articles directory is in dir. apps, but it seems to have indicated, also made a description in INSTALLED_APPS. I don't understand why it is giving an error.

Answer 1

your application is not added to INSTALLED_APPS. just add it to the end

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'articles',
