Description:

I am trying to use Django Crispy Forms in order to change the appearance of the form I've built as part of an assignment. Issue is when I follow the instructions given to me to be able to enable crispy forms I always get the "No module named 'crispy_forms'" error and can't find a fix for it.
My assignment requires me to use crispy forms so I have no idea what to do as I've spent hours trying to troubleshoot the problem and nothing works.

settings.py:

If anyone can help me fix this it would be greatly appreciated as I'm considering pretending to be a cat and seeing if I can land on my legs after jumping out my 3rd story window.

Hi @leondhallam this is usually a virtual environment issue.

If you do a pip list before you launch django's runserver, do you see django-crispy-forms listed?

[leondhallam]

Just re-installed it to try again and yeah crispy does appear from pip list
