When I try to add a new task on my website I get the message "POST /templates/todo" Error (404): "Not found" and cannot find what is wrong with the code. It was working before but now it simply won't work... Can anyone help me figure it out? It was done on cs50ide software. If anyone could inform me whether I am able to create a functioning link for my website (I use python, flask, html and css) I would also be very grateful! Thank you so much

Code for application.py:
Code:
from flask import Flask, render_template, send_from_directory, request, redirect, session
from flask_session import Session
from cs50 import SQL

app = Flask(__name__)
app.config["SESSION_PERMANENT"] = False
app.config["SESSION_TYPE"] = "filesystem"
Session(app)

@app.route('/')
def index():
    return render_template('index.html')

@app.route('/f1inschools')
def f1():
    return render_template('f1inschools.html')
    
@app.route('/pdwt')
def pdwt():
    return render_template('pdwt.html')
    
@app.route('/pros')
def pros():
    return render_template('pros.html')
    
@app.route('/bookrecommendations')
def books():
    return render_template('bookrecs.html')
    
@app.route('/todolist')
def todo():
    if "todos" not in session:
        session["todos"] = []
    return render_template('todo.html', todos=session["todos"])
        
@app.route('/clear')
def clear():
    return redirect("/todolist")
    session["todos"] = []
        
@app.route('/add', methods=["GET", "POST"])
def add():
    if request.method == "GET":
       return render_template("add.html")
    else:
        todo = request.form.get("task")
        session["todos"].append(todo)
        return redirect("/todolist")

Code for todo.html:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.1.3/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

    <body>
        <h1 class = "aligncenter">

        <ul class="listcenter">

            {%for todo in todos%}
                <li> {{ todo }} <input type="checkbox" id="checkbox1"> </li>
            {%endfor%}
            </script>
        </ul>
        
        <a class="btn btn-outline-info margin" href = "add"> Add a New Task</a>
        <a class="btn btn-outline-info" href = "clear"> Clear Tasks </a> <br>
        <div class="backbuttons">
        <form action = "/">
            <button type="submit" id = "back" class="btn btn-info"> BACK TO HOMEPAGE </button> <br> <br>
        </form>
        </div>

Code for add.html:

Code:

        <h1 class="centergeneral fontsize">

        <form class="aligncenter" action="todo" method="post">
            <input id="task" name="task" type="text" placeholder="New Task :)">   
            <input id="submit" type="submit" disabled>
        </form>
        <script>
            document.querySelector('#task').onkeyup = function(){
                if (document.querySelector('#task').value === ''){
                    document.querySelector('#submit').disabled = true;
                } else {
                     document.querySelector('#submit').disabled = false;
                }
            }
        </script>
        
        <form action="/">
            <button type="submit" id = "back" class="btn btn-info margin"> BACK TO HOMEPAGE </button> <br> <br>
        </form>
        <form action="todo">
            <button type="submit" id = "back" class="btn btn-outline-info margin"> BACK TO TO DO LIST </button> <br> <br>
        </form>
    </body>

probably because there's no reference to a 'templates' directory("POST /templates/todo" Error (404): "Not found" ) in your py code. I don't know why people add so much junk to a simple page.
