[Answer]-Django: can't load template index

by

✅

First of all function-based views are deprecated. Try a class-based view like django.views.generic.base.TemplateView.
If you want to use function-based views django.shortcuts.render is useful:

from django.shortcuts import render

def index(request):
    return render(request, 'templates/index.html', {'extra_context' : 'hello'})

get_template returns a TemplateDoesNotExist exception because you missed an ‘l’ in ‘poll’: 

{% for poll in latest_pol_list %}

I’m not removing the rest of my post because it’s good practice for you, hope you will find it useful.
