DoesNotExist at /en-us/ A template tag couldn't find the page with lookup arguments `{'reverse_id': u'home', 'site': 1} `

Question

I am currently going through the django-cms-demo. I have been using the code found here:

https://github.com/andrewschoen/django-cms-demo/tree/master/demo.

I had this working prior to adding the Poll app plugin. I had been getting reverse matching errors when I add the Poll app plugin in the django-admin. After a couple of fixes, I started getting the error below:

"A template tag couldn't find the page with lookup arguments {'reverse_id': u'home', 'site': 1}. The URL of the request was: 'http'://example.com/en-us/"

Traceback:

Answer 1

change:

{% show_placeholder 'footer' 'home' %}

to:

{% show_placeholder 'footer' %}

Or add an id in your home page advanced settings called home
