'forms.ContactForm object' has no attribute 'hidden_tag'

Question

I am trying to create a contact form using flask but keep getting this error when the page is rendered.

\'forms.ContactForm object\' has no attribute \'hidden_         


        

Answer 1

I just fixed this problem as well.

Your problem is that you imported Form twice, rendering your flask-wtf Form import useless.

from flask_wtf import Form
from wtforms import Form, TextField, TextAreaField, SubmitField, validators
#                   ^^^ Remove

Only the flask-wtf extension has the special Form class which can handle CSRF automatically / other stuff.
