TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
unbound method contribute_to_class() must be called with TextField instance as first argument (got ModelBase instance instead)

models.py

from django.db import models 
# Create your models here. 

class post(models.Model): 
    author = models.CharField(max_length=30) 
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100) 
    bodytext = models.TextField 
    timestamp = models.DateTimeField 

Answer 1

I think you did something like that:

wrong:

class Foo(models.Model):
    bar = models.TextField

correct:

class Foo(models.Model):
    bar = models.TextField()

Thus you try to validate with a class instead of a class instance.

Answer 2

You models.py has to be as follows:

from django.db import models 
# Create your models here. 

class post(models.Model): 
    author = models.CharField(max_length=30) 
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100) 
    bodytext = models.TextField()
    timestamp = models.DateTimeField() 

Cause : The unbound method contribute_to_class() TypeError - indicates

"A model field was not declared properly, the parentheses after the field types name were missing"

You have parenthesis missing for 2 fields:

bodytext = models.TextField 
timestamp = models.DateTimeField
