Hello, i'm attempting to redirect to a 'new post' page when someone clicks
'New Post'. Problem is, it redirects back to the public_posts page. the url
in my HTML is {% url 'new_post' %} but when i inspect the element in my
browser, it says the href=/public_posts/ and no matter what I do, I can't
get it to redirect/link correctly.
