Request URL: Category 404

Question

I have, Page not found (404) when accessing /category/Django

urls.py

from .views import (
    PostListViewHome,
    CategoryView,

)

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    path("", PostListViewHome.as_view(), name="Blog-home"),  
    path("category/<str:cats>/", views.CategoryView, name="category"),
]

views.py

def CategoryView(request, cats):
    category_posts = Post.objects.filter(category=cats)
    return render(request, 'Blog/category.html', {'cats':cats, 'category_posts':category_posts})

urls.py in the MPIE02

from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from django.urls import path, include
from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView
from users import views as user_views
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
          path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(template_name='users/logout.html'), name='Logout'),
    path('', include ('Blog.urls')),
]


if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

if i try to accessing /category/ it showin me just 404

Please consider following recommended [naming convention](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/coding-style/). And avoid sharing your SECRET_KEY and other sensitive data. — Ivan Starostin, Jun 21 '22 at 11:46
Does this answer your question? [django urls without a trailing slash do not redirect](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1596552/django-urls-without-a-trailing-slash-do-not-redirect) — Ivan Starostin, Jun 21 '22 at 11:48
now this showed up; Field 'id' expected a number but got 'Django'. — Zak Meshou, Jun 21 '22 at 11:56
There is no `id` reference in shown code, so the error is somewhere else. Or this is not the actual code. Since 404 issue solved please ask another question with the current problem and code. — Ivan Starostin, Jun 21 '22 at 13:02
You should show the content of this file: `MPIE02/urls.py` and tell the result of accessing `/category/` — Waket Zheng, Jun 21 '22 at 13:55

You are getting this error because in your settings file, there is no any path added of templates.

Add path in settings file:

 import os
    TEMPLATES = [
        {
            'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
            'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'appname','templates',)],
            'APP_DIRS': True,
            'OPTIONS': {
                'context_processors': [
                    'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                    'django.template.context_processors.request',
                    'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                    'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
                ],
            },
        },
    ]
