    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',

Connect comments to target model. In models.py add the field comments as a GenericRelation field to the required model.

NOTE: Please note that the field name must be comments NOT comment.

# models.py

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.contenttypes.fields import GenericRelation
from comment.models import Comment

class Article(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=20)
    content = models.TextField()
    # the field name should be comments
    comments = GenericRelation(Comment)

Do migrations

python manage.py migrate

In the template (e.g. post_detail.html) add the following template tags where obj is the instance of post model.

{% load comment_tags %}

Add the following template tags where you want to render comments.

{% render_comments request obj settings_slug='default-config' %}  {# Render all the comments belong to the passed object "obj" #}

if your context_object_name is not obj (e.g article) replace obj with context_object_name.

{% render_comments request obj=article settings_slug='default-config' %}
