Image not uploaded to media folder in Django

Not able to upload image in Django Model.

I have installed Pillow , added MEDIA_URL and MEDIA_ROOT to my settings, added static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) to my urls.py .

forms.py:

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm) :
    class Meta :
        model = Post
        fields = ['name', 'image', 'description', 'age', 'cost', 'address', 'seller', 'phone', ]

post_edit.html:

{% extends 'blog/base.html' %}

{% block content %}
    <h2>New post</h2>
    <form method="POST" class="post-form">{% csrf_token %}
        {{ form.as_p }}
        <button type="submit" class="save btn btn-default">Save</button>
    </form>
{% endblock %}

models.py:

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

urls.py:

path('edit/', views.post_edit, name='post_edit'),

views.py:

@login_required
def post_edit(request, pk) :
    post = get_object_or_404(Post, pk=pk)
    if request.method == "POST" :
        form = PostForm(data=request.POST, files=request.FILES, instance=post)
        if form.is_valid() :
            post = form.save(commit=False)
            post.save()
            return redirect('post_detail', pk=post.pk)
    else :
        form = PostForm(instance=post)
    return render(request, 'blog/post_edit.html', {'form' : form})

If I add an image to a new object , the image is not uploaded to media/images/ . With my modest level of understanding ,I'm not able to find the mistake . Can anyone help me please?

You need to add enctype="multipart/form-data" form attribute to your template:

<form method="POST" class="post-form" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}

From the doc:

Note that request.FILES will only contain data if the request method was POST and the that posted the request has the attribute enctype="multipart/form-data"
