What Section (1, 2, 3) and Lesson numbers is that? I can re-watch that lesson and try to help you troubleshoot.

Also, could you please post the full error message? Thanks!

Gotcha. I just started this course (I just finished the Django course) so I don’t have this built. But I bet we can figure it out.

Would you copy/paste your Models and Admin files here? That’ll help troubleshoot this.
