Just add this to your views

return render_to_response("register.html", {'form': form, }, context_instance = RequestContext(request))

It will work!!

Try using render instead of render_to_response:

from django.shortcuts import render

render(request, "foo.html", {})

Django – what is the difference between render(), render_to_response() and direct_to_template()?

As stated in the link above it was introduced in Django 1.3 and automatically uses RequestContext

for Django version 3.0 add the below annotation

@csrf_protect
def yourfunc(request):
    return render(request, '../your.html', None)

And don’t forget add the below tag in your field

<form action="add/" method="post">
  {% csrf_token %}
...
</form>

If you are not using CsrfViewMiddleware, then you must use csrf_protect on any views that use the csrf_token template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.

The addition of RequestContext is the key when using render_to_response as mentioned by @Yuji ‘Tomita’ Tomita and @Njogu Mbau. However, what initially threw me off when I was struggling with this problem was that I had to add RequestContext to both the function in views.py that initially loads the template and to the function in views.py that handles the submission from the template.

Also, just for reference, here are some other links that discuss this same problem

• Django – CSRF token missing or incorrect
• Django 403 CSRF token missing or incorrect
• Django –CSRF token missing or incorrect
• Django CSRF Cookie Not Set *

Also got this error randomly on some pages after I installed django-livereload-server. Uninstalling django-livereload-server did the trick.

I had this issue too, but honestly, I hit refresh on my browser a few minutes later without changing anything and it worked that time. I had this message in my command line as so it might provide a clue as to what was causing the issue:

Not Found: /css/reset/reset.css

DJANGO/AJAX WORKFLOW FULL METHOD IS HERE 🙂

const url = "{% url 'YOUR_URL_NAME' pk=12345 %}".replace(/12345/, id.toString());
$.ajax({
        type: 'POST',
        url: url,
        data: {'id':id, "csrfmiddlewaretoken": '{{csrf_token}}'},
        beforeSend: function() { $('#response').text('Please wait ...'); },
        success: function (response) {
            console.log(response)           
        },
        error: function (response) {
            console.log(response)
        }
    })

Hope It Will Work !!!

What worked for me was commenting out the below line from my settings.py

'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware'
