I’m having an issue with my Django Blog. Every time I try to turn on the About Me Page, I get a 405 Error.
For context, here’s my code:
posts/views.py:
from django.views.generic import View
from .models import Post
class AboutView(View):
template_name = "aboutme.html"
posts/url.py:
from django.urls import re_path
from .views import AboutView
urlpatterns = [
re_path(r'post/aboutme/', AboutView.as_view())
]
templates/base.html:
<body>
<div class="container">
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarNavAltMarkup" aria-controls="navbarNavAltMarkup" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="py-2 bg-body-tertiary border-bottom">
<div class="py-2 bg-body-tertiary border-bottom">
<ul class="nav me-auto">
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="">Homepage</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="/posts">Blog</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="/post/aboutme/">About Me</a></li>
<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Portfolio</a></li>
</ul>
</div>

For the sake of clarity, I’ve included the About Me page:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% block title %}
About Me
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<div class="center">
<p>
Salutations!
I'm TheBigL. A software Developer by trade.
</p>
</div>
{% endblock %}
I always seem to get a 405 every time I open the About Me page. Is there any way I can fix this issue? Is my view configured correctly? Please let me know. Thanks in advance.
I search in Google. I’ve even tried to do method-based answers, but I wasn’t satified with the result. I’ve even looked up folks who had similar issues, but it’s nothing like what I have at the moment. It’s relatively simple. Mine is a GET request, rather than a POST request.
EDIT: I forgot to change the import to this current state. It’s something that I forgot.
You are not correctly importing Django’s View in from django.views.generic. It should be:
from django.views import View
See Using class-based views.
