You didn’t post your code where the error is occurring, so my only suggestion is to check your typing and capitalization _carefully_. Also, please don’t double post the same problem.

Change “class PostList(Generic.ListView)” to “class PostList(ListView)” would do. Same to PostDetail class.

Can you post the TEMPLATES\_DIR code in your settings.py file, please? Also, screenshots are usually pretty difficult to see, especially if people are viewing this on mobile devices. Please try and enclose your code in three backticks ``` so we can see a formatted version online.
