I have been trying to get my templates to work but they have been ineffective. here is my code:

{% extends "index.html" %}

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
{% block content %}


{% endblock %}
</div>
</body>
</html>

//index.html:

<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    {% block content %}
        <h1>Hello, this is a test.</h1>
        <p>Help me.</p>
    {% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

Hello dear

There is a little mistake in your code :

You should put the {%block block_name %} in your base template with no code and the put the code you want to be displayed in your child template file

Here is an example :

// file.html :

{% extends "index.html" %}

{% block content %}
    <h1>Hello, this is a test.</h1>
    <p>Help me.</p>
{% endblock %}

//index.html:
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    {% block content %}
        
    {% endblock %}
</body>
</html>

Your template inheritance cannot be index.html make it base.html and put whatever you want to be display in all pages on it then extends it in index page and other page

The base template contains the default content, and blocks with default contents in it. Then, in the child template, you can override those blocks.

What error is it showing you?

Please send a picture of it. Remember you can save your base with your desired name, but you should also not that you should register your templates directory in settings template list as [BASE_DIRS/ "templates"] and Incase your template files are in an embedded directory inside your templates directory, kindly do well to correct it as "embeddedDirectory/baseName.html" and also correct your views for other templates references too if need be.

Thanks.

Best Regards.
