Django static media not showing picture

Question

after searching for a solution for hours which did not resolve my problem,I am posting this. The image from my media root is not showing up on my html. In chrome's console i get a 404 file not found .Even though the image is there. I am using Python 3 ,Django 1.10 in Pycharm.

This is the model which is where i upload images to:

from django.db import models

class Post(models.Model):
    username = "anonymous"
    post = models.ImageField(upload_to='anon')
    creation_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return Post.username

views.py :

from django.shortcuts import render,get_object_or_404
from .models import Post

def home(request):
    return render(request,"base.html",{})

def post_detail(request,id=None):
    instance = get_object_or_404(Post,id=id)
    context = {
        "post": instance.post,
        "instance": instance
    }
    return render(request,"post_detail.html",context)

post_detail.html (here the image isnt showing):

<body>
    <img src = "{{ instance.post.url}}" height="520" width="500"><br>
    {{ instance.creation_date }}<br>
    {{ instance.username }}<br>
</body>

It's a common mistake to mix up the static and media settings. In your case what you are actually dealing with is user uploaded MEDIA and not STATICs.

 <img src = "{{ instance.post.url}}" height="520" width="500"><br>

The settings that are most relevent are MEDIA_* settings described here https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/howto/static-files/

But more importantly, in your dev sever you need to enable the delivery of MEDIA by adding

from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static

urlpatterns = [
    # ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
