Can you include your template code? The issue could be in there.

template:

{% extends "posts/post_base.html" %}

{% load bootstrap3 %}

{% block post_content %}

<h4>{% if not form.instance.pk %}

Create Post

{% else %}

Update Post

{% endif %}</h4>

<form method="POST" id="postForm">

{% csrf_token %}

{% bootstrap_form form %}

<input type="submit" value="Post" class="btn btn-primary btn-large">

</form>

{% endblock %}
