updating model breaks admin

[Gloria Elena]

Hi all,

I want to request your help and I am sure you can guess by the question that I am fairly new to Django and THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, I would like to, someday, publish this portfolio website. I am sure I am making such a rookie mistake and will have to kick myself for making such a silly error but I am stuck !! Hope to pay it forward.

I have this model in the articles app that works great: 

class Article(models.Model):

    title = models.CharField(max_length=120, unique=True)

    body=models.TextField(max_length=600)

    date=models.DateField()

    created = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)

    featured=models.BooleanField(default=False)

    slug = models.SlugField(blank=True)

UNTIL I add a new class and add this field:

    tags = models.ManyToManyField(Tag)

Error message when adding a new article in admin:

OperationalError at /admin/articles/article/add/

cursor "_django_curs_5508_1" does not exist

Error message when adding a new tag in admin:

ProgrammingError at /admin/articles/tag/add/

relation "articles_tag" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT (1) AS "a" FROM "articles_tag" WHERE "articles_tag"."..

What I have tried to no avail:

1) deleting all articles

2) migrate & makemigrations 

3) deleting any references to tags in my templates

4) searching these errors on stackoverflow

If the data is not important, try to delete migration files from `migrations` package, drop the database tables and reference M2M relationship using strings:

tags = models.ManyToManyField('Tag')

Or if the Tag model is in another app:

tags = models.ManyToManyField('app_name.Tag')

Then run `makemigrations` and `migrate`

Can you also share the `Tag` model and related `ModelAdmin` classes?

Hi George,

Thanks for the advice. I tried both suggestions and I am still getting the same errors. 

Here is my articles app structure and admin.py:

And here is my site structure:

Thank you!!
