CSRF verification failed. Request aborted

Use the render shortcut which adds RequestContext automatically.

from django.http import HttpResponsefrom django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404, renderfrom steps_count.models import Top_Listfrom steps_count.forms import Top_List_Formdef index(request):    if request.method == 'POST':        #form = Top_List_Form(request.POST)        return HttpResponse("Do something") # methods must return HttpResponse    else:        top_list = Top_List.objects.all().order_by('total_steps').reverse()        #output = ''.join([(t.name+'\t'+str(t.total_steps)+'\n') for t in top_list])        return render(request,'steps_count/index.html',{'top_list': top_list})

You may have missed adding the following to your form:

{% csrf_token %}

When you found this type of message , it means CSRF token missing or incorrect. So you have two choices.

1. For POST forms, you need to ensure:

   • Your browser is accepting cookies.

   • In the template, there is a {% csrf_token %} template tag inside each POST form that targets an internal URL.

2. The other simple way is just commented one line (NOT RECOMMENDED)('django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware') in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES from setting tab.

   MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',    # 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
