Django form doesn`t appear in page

I want to add posts in adding system from user profile page (without creating another page to adding). To profile page including html file for creating post

I created model, form, view and html but have no idea why it isn`t working.

The form doesn`t appear in page (except bottom "publish")

include is working

forms

from django import forms
from .models import Post, Comment

class PostForm(forms.ModelForm): 
    class Meta: 
        model = Post 
        fields = ['text', 'photo', 'video']

views

from django.shortcuts import redirect, render
from .models import Post, Comment 
from .forms import PostForm, CommentForm
# Create your views here.
from django.contrib.auth.decorators import login_required 
from django.views.decorators.http import require_GET, require_POST

@login_required(login_url='users:login')
def create_post(request):  
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = PostForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid(): 
            post = form.save(commit=False) 
            post.user = request.user 
            post.save() 
            return redirect('user:profile')
    else: 
        form = PostForm()
    context = {'form': form}
    return render(request, 'post/create_post.html', context)

create_post.html

<div class="posts-section">
    <div class="new-post">  
        <form method='post' enctype="multipart/form-data">
            {{form.as_p}}
            {% csrf_token %}
            <button>Publish</button>
        </form>
    </div>
</div>

user_profile.html

{% extends "base.html" %} 
{% load profile_tags %}

{% block content %} 
    </div>
    <div class="profile-info">
        <p><strong>Email:</strong> {{ user.email }} </p>
        <p><strong>About:</strong>{{ profile.about }}</p>
    </div>
    {% include "post/create_post.html" %}
</div>
{% endblock content %}

Your form variable is outside scope for context. This is one of the possible solutions:

@login_required(login_url='users:login')
def create_post(request):  
    if request.method == 'POST':
        # scope 1 - form
        form = PostForm(request.POST, request.FILES)
        if form.is_valid(): 
            post = form.save(commit=False) 
            post.user = request.user 
            post.save() 
            return redirect('user:profile')
        # if form is not valid - this context renders form from scope1
        context = {'form': form}
        return render(request, 'post/create_post.html', context)
    # this will cach if request.method is not POST
    # scope 2 - form
    form = PostForm()
    # scope 2 - context (same scope as form)
    context = {'form': form}
    return render(request, 'post/create_post.html', context)
