.. admonition:: Flatpages will not apply view middleware



   Because the ``FlatpageFallbackMiddleware`` is applied only after

   URL resolution has failed and produced a 404, the response it

   returns will not apply any :ref:`view middleware <view-middlware>`

   methods. Only requests which are successfully routed to a view via

   normal URL resolution apply view middleware.



Note that the order of :setting:`MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES` matters. Generally, you can

put :class:`~django.contrib.flatpages.middleware.FlatpageFallbackMiddleware` at

the end of the list, because it's a last resort.
