Can't save tags in admin using django-taggit


I am using django-taggit and I can't save the tags when creating a new post from the admin panel, when I edit a post I had already created before adding django-taggit, it saves the tags well, what might be the problem?

Models.py

class BlogPost(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=200, unique=True)
    slug = models.SlugField(max_length=200, unique=True)
    author = models.ForeignKey(
        User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name='blog_posts')
    description = models.CharField(max_length=500)
    content = RichTextUploadingField(config_name='awesome_ckeditor')
    tags = TaggableManager()
    category = models.ForeignKey(
        'Category', related_name='category', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    cover = models.ImageField(upload_to='images/')
    created_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    updated_on = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)
    #read_time = models.TimeField(null=True, blank=True)
    status = models.IntegerField(choices=STATUS, default=0)
    series = models.IntegerField(choices=SERIES, default=0)

    def __str__(self):
        return self.title

    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return reverse("blog:detail", args=[str(self.slug)])

Solution

  • Do you receive any error during saving post? Did you make python manage.py migrate after installing django-taggit and include it to INSTALLED_APPS? You have made change in the model so you need to prepare your db to work with new data.
