Logout link giving error 405

Using Django Mystery Errors
1

I am trying to create a to do list watching a tutorial in order to learn the basics of Django.
The issue is that when I log out instead of getting the log in page I get an error 405. Also when I use the back arrow it takes me to the app content.
Any Ideas on how to solve this ? Following is the code

task_lists.html

{% if request.user.is_authenticated %}
<p>{{request.user}}</p>
<a href="{% url 'logout' %}">Logout</a>

{% else %}
<a href="{% url 'login' %}">Login</a>
{% endif %}

<hr>

<h1>My To DO List</h1>
<a href="{% url 'task-create' %}">Add Task</a>

<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Item</th>
        <th></th>
        <th></th>
    </tr>
    {% for task in tasks %}
    <tr>
        <td>{{task.title}}</td>
        <td><a href="{% url 'tasks' task.id %}">View</a></td>
        <td><a href="{% url 'task-update' task.id %}">Edit</a></td>
        <td><a href="{% url 'task-delete' task.id %}">Delete</a></td>
    </tr>
    {% empty %}
    <h1>No items in list </h1>
    {% endfor %}
</table>

login.html

<h1>Login</h1>

<form method="POST">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{form.as_p}}
    <input type="submit" value="Login">
</form>

The tutorial is obsolete.

See the thread and related links at Showing `Method Not Allowed (GET): /users/logout/`

Instead of trying to learn Django from some random YouTube videos, I suggest you work your way through the Official Django Tutorial and the Django Girls Tutorial, and then find additional resources at GitHub - wsvincent/awesome-django: A curated list of awesome things related to Django
