Try adding the line admin.autodiscover() to your main urls.py, making sure to do from django.contrib import admin first.

Found this info useful in this context.

So simply replace django.contrib.admin with django.contrib.admin.apps.SimpleAdminConfig in installed apps.

from adminplus.sites import AdminSitePlus

#Add this line.  
admin.site = AdminSitePlus()
admin.autodiscover()  # automatic autodiscover should be turned off in settings

I had this problem happen upgrading from Django 1.6 -> 1.8. The solution for me turned out to be simply removing admin.site = AdminSitePlus() from the top of my urls.py. So, this:

admin.site = AdminSitePlus()
admin.autodiscover()

became this:

admin.autodiscover()

Have you created admin.py files for all your apps, registered the models, and called admin.site.register() in urls.py?
