I get an AttributeError at /accounts/vendor/menuBuilder/category/add/ 'str' object has no attribute 'field' error in my html add form. The edit form works perfectly. And the add form is essentially a direct copy with the exception of the form action.
I've looked through this more than a dozen times and am stumped. Thanks for any help.
Here's the form:
{% extends 'v_base.html' %}
{% load static %}
{% load widget_tweaks %}
{% block content %}
<!-- start page title -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<div class="page-title-box d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between">
<h4 class="mb-0 font-size-18">{{vendor.vendor_name}} Profile</h4>
<button class="btn btn-outline-secondary btn-sm m-1 float-right" onclick="history.back()"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i> Back</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- end page title -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<!-- Error Messages -->
<!-- LOAD MESSAGES -->
{% include 'includes/alerts.html' %}
<!-- END Error Messages -->
<div class="card ">
<div class="card-body">
<h3 class="card-title">Add Category</h3>
<!-- RENDER FORM -->
<form action="{% url 'addCategory' %}" method="POST">
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-10">
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="example-text-input" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Category Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
{% render_field form.category_name type="text" class="form-control" %}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group row">
<label for="example-text-input" class="col-sm-2 col-form-label">Description</label>
<div class="col-sm-6">
{% render_field form.description type="textarea" class="form-control" rows="4" %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% for field in form %}
{% if field.errors %}
{% for error in field.errors %}
<li style="color: red;">{{ error }}</li>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-info w-lg"><i class="fa fa-check" aria-hidden="true"></i>Create Category</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div> <!-- end col -->
</div> <!-- end row -->
{% endblock %}`

I'm at my wits end. I have another add form using widget tweaks that's working perfectly.
Help!
