Hi Ejaz Ali Inayat,

The issue you are facing occurs because, when you try to create a blog, the feature image is not receiving any input. This can happen for several reasons:

  1. In your forms.py, the feature image field may not be correctly added.

  2. It can also happen if you have not included enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form tag within the template.

Please check these issues. If you are still unable to fix them, kindly share your updated GitHub repository with us.

 Ejaz Ali Inayat,

I think you did not try my previous answer. Earlier, in point number 2, I mentioned that you need to include enctype="multipart/form-data" in your form tag. However, I did not see this in your code. I have added it, and your issue is now resolved. Here is the full code:

<form action="{% url 'add_post' %}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
          {% csrf_token %}
          {{ form|crispy }}
         <button type="submit" class="btn btn-warning">Submit</button>
</form>

Please watch the videos carefully. If you face any issues, ask in the Q&A section and make sure to follow the steps we provided to resolve the issue.
