contact page were showing only “Contact label” and “Submit” button, but all the fields between ( name, email, and content ) were hidden.
contact.html
{% extends 'layouts/base.html' %}
{% block title %}Contact - {{ block.super }}{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
<h1>Contact</h1>
<form role="form" action="" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
{{ form.as_p }}
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
{% endblock %}Thanks for the fast reply …

Sorry i thought i mentioned it before in my first post… it worked fine at first, but in the middle of my project i wanted to know if i commented some code (sections on my website) without delete it in order to see what happens in my website.
The basic idea i want to see my website showing only home page and about page, so i commented all the other parts and it worked just fine, then i return everything back to normal and uncommented everthing back. when i checked the contact page i found it like this.
Hm. Are you tracking changes with git? Could you look at your git history and see if something got changed accidentally?
I’m having the same issue. No errors just not showing up. Ele were you able to figure it out?
After hours of googling and reworking the same code over and over I realized that the url for the contact needs to be at the top of the list of urls. Once I moved it the fields showed up.
I had the same error! And your solution worked! I moved the URL to the top of the list and now my form fields are showing up. Before I also only had the header and the submit button showing up.
