 <p>There's no official or centralized django-html5-boilerplate package, but based on your problem, I'm guessing you're using <a href="https://github.com/mike360/django-html5-boilerplate" rel="nofollow">the one created by mike360 on github</a></p> <p>If that's the case, in <a href="https://github.com/mike360/django-html5-boilerplate/blob/master/projectname/templates/base.html" rel="nofollow">base.html</a>, you'll find there the following bit of code:</p> <pre><code>{% if debug %}{% include 'includes/debug.html' %}{% endif %} </code></pre> <p>Setting <code>DEBUG=False</code> will make it go away (which you'll <em>have</em> to do in production, so you'll still need to solve that staticfiles problem), but if you simply don't want to see it during development, remove it from the template.</p>
