How to upload and display image django 2?

I tried to hardcode path and nothing worked. What's wrong with my code? I'm getting 404 error and image isn't showing up.

settings.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'static/')

MEDIA_URL = '/media/'
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'blog/media')

models.py 

image = models.ImageField(upload_to = 'media/', blank = True)

urls.py

urlpatterns = [...] + static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

forms.py class PostForm(forms.ModelForm):

    class Meta:

        model = Post
        fields = ('author','title', 'text','image')

        widgets = {
            'title': forms.TextInput(attrs={'class': 'textinputclass'}),
            'text': forms.Textarea(attrs={'class': 'editable medium-editor-textarea postcontent'}),
        }

html

        <img src="{{post.image.url}}">

static(settings.STATIC_URL, document_root=settings.STATIC_ROOT)

from what I understand you are trying to make the django serve static files with this, static-files and media are separate, that line you have serves statics like css, js etc which resides in STATIC_ROOT while you need to serve MEDIA_ROOT so

static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

adding this part should work, but I highly discourage using this in the actual deployment, media files should be handled by a web server like nginx and not an application server.
