2. In the container of your project (the folder that contains settings.py) add the following path to the file urls.py inside urlpatterns and don't forget to import include:

# your file by default imports path, add a comma and add include like this: 
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
# here is the line you need to add inside urlpatterns:
    path('', include('frontend.urls'))
