You didn’t include your template for the page generating this error, so this is a bit of a guess - your error message says reverse for user-post not found. Your name assigned above is for user-posts, I don’t see a definition for user-post.

The error is at this line

You’re referencing a url name user-post, but the name defined is user-posts.

This appears to be a different problem on a different project, it’s ok to open up a new thread of discussion to address the issue you’re encountering.

Also, when posting code here, please enclose it between lines consisting of three backtick - ` characters. This means you’ll have a line of ```, then your code, then another line of ```. This allows the forum software to keep your code properly formatted, which is very important with Python.
