I will there is an extra step I am missing. Any suggestions or advice?

Accepted Answer

I recently ran into this issue (Django 1.8.7) even with `SITE_ID = 1` in my settings. I had to manually migrate the `sites` app before any other migrations:

```
./manage.py migrate sites
./manage.py migrate
```
