For others facing this . Suppose your App name is MyApp and your tag folder name is templatetags then in settings.py you should have :

INSTALLED_APPS = [
'MyApp',
'MyApp.templatetags'
]

Both your django app and your tag folder which is under your app package are needed there.

-> MyApp
    ---> models.py
    ---> views.py
    ---> templatetags
      -----> __init__.py
      -----> app_filters.py

And in your template file :

{% load app_filters %}

Also app_filters.py be like :

# coding=utf-8
from django import template

register = template.Library()


@register.filter(name='get_item')
def get_item(dictionary, key):
    return dictionary.get(key)

check all above steps and you may find the issue.
