My post_ajax.html has an if else statement that does not trigger for if user.is_superuser even though I am logged in as superuser. I've tested this on the title_posts.html and it trigger but not on the post_ajax.html

Edit:

views.py

class TitlePostAjaxListView(ListView):
    model = Post
    template_name = 'main/posts_ajax.html'
    context_object_name = 'posts'
    paginate_by = 5

    def get_queryset(self):
        title = get_object_or_404(Game, title=self.kwargs.get('title'))
        return Post.objects.filter(game=title, platform=Platform.objects.filter(
            id=self.kwargs.get('platform_id')).first()).order_by('-date_published')

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        context = super(TitlePostAjaxListView, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
        context['game'] = get_object_or_404(Game, title=self.kwargs.get('title'))

        return context

    def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        self.object_list = self.get_queryset()
        context = self.get_context_data()
        return HttpResponse(render_to_string(self.template_name, context))

Answer 1

On your last line of code, try replacing return HttpResponse(...) with return render(request, self.template_name, context) and let me know if that works.

This will add the request into the rendering process, allowing you to access request.user
