TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

[Salima Begum]

Hi all,

In my project for each functionality I have written code for confirmation messages. For example

```

messages.success("Your ad is successfully posted")

```

Every functionality is breaking because of confirmation messages after deployment. How to fix it? Can anyone help me? 

Thank you

~Salima

Just guessing that you need to write

messages.success = “Your ad is successfully posted”

But without more information from you that is only a guess.

How is messages.success defined?

You need to pass the request object as the first argument.

Hi all,

Actually this error is prompting because in my deployment site I am using django version 3.2. In this version they have some issue with messages so,  I referred to this document and I fixed it by adding one line in the settings.py file.

MESSAGE_LEVEL = message_constants.DEBUG
