I get a invalid TemplateSyntaxError in Django for using the {% else %}-statement [

Question

Found the solution I was dumb. I thought I commented something, but apparently not. So the code was glitching on a 'commented out' {% else %}-statement. But still thanks.

My django-project (a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtQiiknWUcI) keeps crashing on the basis that it doesn't accept my '{% else %}'-statement. I can't wrap my head around it.

                {{request.user.username}} {{request.user.username}}
            
            
            
        {% else %}
         
            
            Login 
          
        {% endif %}

Django gives me a TemplateSyntaxError with the text: 'Invalid block tag on line 82: 'else'. Did you forget to register or load this tag?' The if-statement is there to control if the user is logged in. The 'else-statement' is there to show someone the inlog-page when not logged in.

I tried to google this. But for other people this 'error' comes up when they wrote there if-statement wrong. I hope that someone can help me. It's so frustrating.

I updated it and now it shows more code. It is a navbar.html that I'll import. But the error is on the navbar.html

This is the full django-error-report:

TemplateSyntaxError at /

Don't forget to load static if you have static files in your project.

{% load static %}
