I was expecting it to redirect me to the new page but it shows an error.
CodePudding user response：
With APP_DIRS enabled Django searches for templates inside each app /templates/ subfolder. Lowercase, plural.
You have Template - wrong case, missing s in the end. So yes, the template does not exist for Django because it cannot be found at any expected location.
CodePudding user response：
You have the configuration
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'Templates')],
so you need to have the Templates directory in your base directory, not inside each app, it should be
Template/blog/create.html
and not
blog/Template/blog/create.html
CodePudding user response：
Apparently your app doesn't look into blog's template folder. It only looks into personal
and account's template folders. You can check that in the attached picture under template-loader postmortem. It usually means that the app is not installed properly.
There are lots of reasons for such a thing, among them:
- You might have located it in a wrong directory. The app must be at
./src/. It seems that it's not the case as theurl.pyis working properly. - It might be the case that you forgot to save
settings.pyafter you added theblogapp. - It might be your virtual environment. A restart and a migrate command might help.
Otherwise you might have changed the app's template directory somewhere.
