Hello, i'm attempting to redirect to a 'new post' page when someone clicks 'New Post'. Problem is, it redirects back to the public_posts page. the url in my HTML is {%  url 'new_post' %} but when i inspect the element in my browser, it says the href=/public_posts/ and no matter what I do, I can't get it to redirect/link correctly.

Hello Silver.

- On your URLCONFIG add 

path('', include('public_posts.urls')),    <=== Add

- On your  public_posts/urls.py add

app_name = 'public_posts'

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.pub_post_list, name='pub_posts'),
    path('', views.post_new, name='new_post'),

    path('new-post/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='new_post.html'), name='new_post'),   <=== Change

    path('', TemplateView.as_view(template_name='pub_posts.html'), name='pub_posts'),
]

- On your HTML add

<h4><a href="{% url 'public_posts:new_post' %}">New Post</a></h4>    <=== Change

Forgot to add that one of the pub_posts is now public_posts, still doesn't work but thanks for pointing out the fact that it is probably pretty stupid to have more than one thing with the same name, probably saved me a good amount of future headaches.

[silverst...@gmail.com]

It took away my public_posts page and replaced it for my home page.

[silverst...@gmail.com]

I fixed it, none of the suggestions worked.
