CSRF token missing or incorrect, even after including the token tag

Question

I am getting a \'CSRF token missing or incorrect\' error, but I have already added the {% csrf_token%} tag in the web form. Any idea why I still face this error

Answer 1

It looks like your problem is enctype="text/plain" in your form. The CSRF protection assumes that the post data is form encoded.

The simplest fix is to remove that entirely, which is equivalent to:

enctype="enctype=application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

If you were uploading files in your form you would use:

enctype="multipart/form-data"
